Engine Codes, PLEASE HELP!!!

I know these are not 3rd gens, but I am desperatly needing help with these engine #'s. The guy I got the engines from said they were both 350's, but I have no idea what year they are and whether or not they are really 350's. Here are the #'s:
V0325TBC
T03050NM
What in the heck are these engines? BTW, they are V8's, I know that much....

vortex,the code TBC is the only 1 I could find and it came in 3 different forms but all 3 are truck engines hence the 1st letter being "T"
1.1970 350/255HP-4BBl 3spd Manual C-10 to 3500 Truck series.
2.1970 350/255HP-4BBl automatic k-10 to 20 truck series
3.1979 350/165HP-4BBl auto or manual C-10 to 2500 truck series.
Look for casting dates on the block but an easier way to distinguish the 70 from the 79 is look at the pad were you got the numbers, the 79 will be about 2" long were the 70 will be about 3 to 31/2 inches long.
on the 2nd cast number,I can not find anything for NM or ONM are u sure that is the code, sometimes a "C" wich is more common gets mistaken for an "O" in wich case I did find a code for CNM and its for:
1970 350/250HP-2BBL out of any of these cars,
Chevelle series
Nova series
Camaro series
Bel Air/kingswood station wagon
Series means 4doors/Swagons everything you get the picture.
Good luck

Thank you for your reply. If I may ask, where did you get your information? A book? Perhaps I should go get one so I don't have to pester you all - thanks again, it helps a lot to know they are not 305's!
