416 Is a 1980-1986 305 58cc cylinder head with 1.84"/1.5" valves. Look on the back of the block on the left side for a casting number, just above the area where the transmission is attached. There may be crud or grease obscuring the number, so clean it if you have to. That will give us a little more information.

It's a 305 then, and the 416 heads were on the carbed motors in the 80's

Yeah GM5.0L is GM 5 liter. 305 SBC. Flat tappet carb motor. Definitely not a 350 and DEFINITELY not a corvette motor.
