Welcome aboard.
You'll need to change the oil pan and pump pickup, and the knock sensor & module for a 350.
You're keeping your current carb set-up, correct?

Very possible common swap esp. on these boards what 5.7 kid said is pretty much the gist of it if you keep the carb setup it is a pretty str8 forward project.

Forgot to mention the EGR valve won't work because the Vette aluminum heads don't have the exhaust cross-over passages the '86 carb system uses to feed the EGR valve the needed exhaust gases.

The intake manifold and all the support equipment from your 305 will bolt onto the Vette engine and run it just fine.
What transmission is a whole 'nuther topic.
