Look at the way everything is arranged on this engine... 305 or 350?.... thanks ------------------ My 1992 Pontiac FireBird Formula 350 TPI

By the way, thats an 83 Camaro Z28... No 350's in here back then.. but maybe a 350 was dropped?... thats what im trying to figure out...

------------------

i dunno about the rest of you, but to me that looks totally custom, the a/c pump and the drivers side?? (i may be wrong, keep in mind i'm new)

Hondas get all the girls.
Camaro's get all the women.

'89 Camaro RS T-top L03, T5, 3.08 10 bolt stock rear, Edelbrock Pro-Flow filter, more to come as the money flows....

My 86's A/C is on the driver's side, too.

ok, i was wrong, my bad. hehe, like i siad, i'm new

(edit) now that i think of it, my sisters poor old 84 berlinette (i can't remember the spelling ok?) v6 (now a v8 i think , or my friend we gave it to dropped a replacement v6, old one kept making this nasty sounding knocking noise above 2k rpm's) had it on the passenger side

Coincidentally some of the guys at work today were discussing visual differences on older 305 vs 350. They said the dipsticks were on different sides and that the balancer was different too. Don't hold me to it, I'm not the one who said it. It's just something I heard. Anybody?

Come see The Vicious...

I think I see the dipstick on the drivers side of the block... all that means is the block is pre 1980... it still could be a 305 or 350 but why would someone want to swap in a pre 1980 305??? so actually it could be anything from a 262 to a 400 from that angle..... wanna find out exactly what it is??? pull it out and start measuring bore and stroke...

the only way to tell the size of any small block is to check the numbers on teh block. externally they are all teh same with the exception of the 400. there is a number pad on the back of the block right next to the bellhousing, the other number and the only one you will be able to see is the one on the passenger side deck surface. it is right by the water pump just in front of the head. this number will tell you if it is the original motor or not. the number on the back of the motor will tell you what the motor actually is.
