350?????

How can i tell if the car has a 350 engine in it? the guy i bought it from said that the guy before threw in a 350 but i didnt really care wether it was a 305 or a 350, so what is the easiest way to figure it out?

The 627 means that the full casting number is probably 14093627, which is an 87-up roller 305 block.
