Its a 305 block with 305 TPI heads on it. What cam is anyone's guess though, really. Who's to say it hasn't been changed? Or the heads haven't been changed?

I understand that it could have been changed. I'm asking what it came with, not what it might possibly have. It was a carb'ed engine.

What it came with depends on what vehicle it came out of.

IIRC, only the F-bodies got those heads, because they only came on the 5.0 TPI, and only the F-bodies got that motor. But the 5.0 TPI came with two (or more) different cams, depending on the year and transmission it was originally mated to.

Trucks and Vans got 081s as well. Cadillac TBI 305s did too. The 1987-1988 Monte Carlos came with either 081s or 187s.
