What engine do I have?
The engine is supposed to be an 89 350 but I can find not casting marks. It has perimeter valve covers, tpi, air, and a serpentine system. The sides of block are cast 627. The car was originally a 305. Anyone?

Take a closer look at the left rear ledge on the block:
Refer to www.mortec.com for a definition of the casting numbers.

I think any engine with the casting 627 on the side is a 350. A 636 designates a 305 I believe. If it is an 89 it should have a 5.7 stamped into the ledge shown in the pic above.

Just get the cast numbers like in the pic above, it will save lots of time and guessing.
