Purchased a camaro wih a engine swap and need some help
ello guys here is my predicament.
I bought a 91 vert RS. carfax says CONVERTIBLE
5.0L V8 TBI OHV 16V / REAR WHEEL DRIVE. The engine in it now is carb'd nd apparently is a 350 wit roller tip rockers, high compression and a mild cam. The issue that I am currently having is I want to know what I have under my hood. Im new to camaros and have speent some time loking around this forum for info. im now stumped so im asking for help.
where do i need to lok to find out what 350 i have under my hood? the engine has only 8k on it right now so i would prefer not to disassemble unless i have to. Is there a way to decode the VIN to find out what trany i have also? its an auto with AOD and its the origional from when it had the 5.0l in it.
Any info would greatly be appretiated guys and hankyou in advance.

It does look all stock but that doesnt mean it is. If it is carbed than to confirm just remove the air cleaner and confirm it its carbed or TBI and to see if it has roller tips like state you need to remove one valve cover, i recommend the drivers side much easier. You need to get the number off the block to see if it is a 350 block.
