Thats the adantage of Chevys, they normal were interchangable between years unlike ford where you needed to make some modfications. You shouldn't have any problems. You might have some emission stuff that will need pluged but the motormounts and tranny/bell housing should match up. Never done it on a 305 but just about every other chev motor.

Chevys great interchangability went out the window almost 20 years ago.86 and newer have 1 piece rear main seal which requires a totally different flexplate/flywheel with different crankshaft bolt pattern and balance than your 79 has. Your 79 torque converter may or may not fit a 92 flexplate. Also,some of the later fuel injected smallblock chevys have the intake manifold bolts angled differently in the heads than a 79,so your intake manifold may not bolt up.A 92 block may not have any provisions for a mechanical fuel pump. Expect lots of changes or go with a pre 86 engine.
