Re: 84 TA HO question
The '84 HO cars got a lot bigger exhaust manifolds, the electric fan, bigger exhaust system (that was also stainless steel), flat top pistons (to raise comp. to 9.5:1), slightly larger valves in the same heads, the cam from the 1982 cross fire corvette, and that's pretty much it. That accounted for the difference between the regular LG4 305 and the L69 305 HO.
If it has a factory belt-driven fan, then it is a regular 305. The exhaust manifolds on the HO engines look much larger than most others, and they have larger down pipes and a larger pipe going back.
The vin will tell what was there from the factory, though. YOu can also look at the codes sheet under the console lid and look for L69.
