I bought a donor truck this weekend for the motor and transmission. The seller said the truck was a 305 originally but that the motor has been replaced with a 350 by a previous owner. I tried to locate the casting number to determine what I have and I found this cast in the block back behind the driver side head:

-a sidways 8, followed by the GM script and
"5.7LG SGI"

I asssume the "5.7" means 350 but where from this casting is the actual casting number? Thanks, Scott

On a 305 I have the casting # is on the back of the block on the drivers side. Should be about 6 or 7 numbers..... then take those numbers to Mortec.com and find out what you have..year and cubes.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
