What bull@hit about it, unless he's trying to pass it off as an original 350, which there weren't any in '86 right along with T-tops especially, sorry I don't know too much about Pontiacs.

It's probably a 305 and he's just saying it's a 350. Happens all the time.

The thing is, he doesn't say it's the original engine though, but with that kind of milage I would assume it's original.

The 8th digit of the VIN is an F. That would make it a 305 TPI. So unless its not the original motor, I would have to say he just doesn't know what he's talking about.

Evidently he's updated the description. He now states it is indeed a 350 purchased from the local dealer and swapped for the original 305 c.i. engine. You'd think he would have at least detailed the engine compartment in preparation for selling it.
