Need your help quick boy's
Hey, a "maro" newbie here I think i got bamboozled on a "z", guy told me it had a 350, with a 350 turbo trans, come to find out neither are stock for a 85 z28, he finally broke down and told they came off a 84 z donor car, and i pulled the numbers off but i can't decipher them to figure out what i really have it's sitting up on ramps right now with no transmission pan or oil and i need to know what i have to get the parts to be at work tomorrow, the number i got off the engine is v11305dn, and the trannie is 4yp339a, and a smaaler stamp on the engine after the first number was 1el89547 any help would be greatly appreciated.

i think you got lied to... a 84 Z wouldn't have been a 350/350 car either. It would have been a 305/700 combo.
You can ID the trans real quick: if it doesn't have a vacuum modulator, but it does have the torque arm mount on the side of the extension housing (NOT on the trans crossmember) then it's a 700.
Get the block casting number off the bell housing flange right behind the driver's side head, and got to the site ede posted for ID. the other numbers are alot harder to work with. 1 thing though: the second string of #s off the front of the block are the last however many digits of the car the engine came from the factory installed in; you might want to see if it matches your VIN. If it does, you have the car's origianl 305.
Selling a 305 as a 350 is the most popular used-car lie in the book when it comes to these cars. About 90% of the time, when somebody says one of these cars has a 350 in it, it's a bald-faced lie. I hope it isn't in your case, but the odds aren't real good.

well good news and bad news, got it fixed and back rolling, but i'm now the proud owner of a 305 with a 700 trannie, so much for good thoughts? just gives me a good excuse to order a 350 crate engine???? but monday morning should be interesting seeing as though the guy who sold it to me is my boss, hopefully he won't file charges and fire me for ringing his stupid neck. Once bitten twice shy. But after finding this site i no longer have a worry for all my camaro questions can be answered here.
