Lost on this Engine id
Bought a running 84 TA a few years ago ( was a mess but had some great parts) the previous owner said it had a 350 put in. Well after the owner lying about the title being good and my being unab to register it, I bought an 89 formula. Anywho, I decided to check the engine id stamp to see if the previous 84 owner was lying about that as well. Wellllll, what I found was confusing as h*ll and nothing pulled up online to help me decipher what this engine really was. I was wondering if anyone here could help me figure this mystery out. I've attached the clearest image of the block stamp. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Lost on this Engine id
ZAM 1980 350 190HP 4BBL m/t, L48
The number under that is the last part of the original car's VIN. It's a pre 1980 VIN.
1 = Chevrolet
A = Year code = 1980
S = Engine build plant. Saginaw Service
Last digits are a sequential number for that year starting at 10,001
