CAll your local chevy dealership and give them your VIN numbers they will tell you everything about your car from the day it was born till now .For a fact this is the best way i found to make this confirmation.
If there haven't been any modifications done to it. that is

There's nothing special about it being a Formula 350, that's just the car it was in originally. If it's a later block, 87 up I think, it will have a 5.7 stamped behind the driver side head. Look in the classified adds here or on craigslist for TPI parts. There's a thread with all the info to repin your TBI harness
