help with a 5.7

I got a motor from a friend that was on a pick up deluxe 30 custom chevy 85 the motor has numbers on it...here is it

GM5.7LG , SGI ,and kind of a serial on it 14093638 on the block and 14102191 on teh heads.

So as u can see i want to figure out what kind of motor do i have the only thing i know is a 5.7L mark on it what else can u guys tell me

definately a 350, i think that one was made from 86-94 though, unless my sources are incorrect. The heads should be from an EFI engine (probably the original ones). THey have 1.94 1.50 valves.

Yup, TPI will work, but you might have a hard time bolting it to those heads. The bolt pattern was slightly different.
