Need Info

Ok, I purchased a car in August. It is a 1987 Firebird. By the VIN it has the anemic motor. Can't think of the number right now, but it is a 305. The motor in there hauls ***. Anyway, I have tried to find numbers off block, but they are not where the books say it should be. Where is a good spot to look. Also is there any quick way to tell what is in there.

That's where it is. It's the only place. Look there, you'll find it.
