The difference is the bore diameter, so if you've got a head off you can measure it. A 350 has a 4" bore, a 305 is 3.75".
Another possibility is to write down the letters and numbers on the identification pad just in front of the right-side cylinder head and go to this website to trace it: http://www.nastyz28.com/chevy-engine-code-stampings.php
The eight digit in the VIN # will tell you what engine you have. If you have the number 8 it is a 5.7 (350)
Depends on whether you're referring to a 305 TBI, 305 TPI, 350 TPI...
TBI or TPI? 305 or 350?
165 HP for LG4 carb 305. 190 HP for LB9 TPI 305 220 HP for L98 TPI 350
Assuming you're referring to a 1988 IROC-Z, it could have either a 305 TBI, 305 TPI or a 350 TPI
Base 305 4bbl (170 hp), optional 305 TPI (215 hp) or 350 TPI (225 hp)
Yes it does work. However you will also need to use the 22 lb injectors for the 350. To get the full benefits from the upgrade you should get a 350 chip burned. The computers are the same but the chips are different. This is all considering if the swap is for a lb9 (305) to a l98 (350).

Either a 305 TBI, 305 TPI or a 5.7 TPI
Usually a 5.7L 350 V-8, but some have 5.0L TPI or carburated 305
install 350 heads with bigger valves works well for more torque at lower speeds
