Find the casting number on the PS of engine Block and then look it up on the Inliners site:

http://www.inliners.org/

It is probably a 248, w/ a number like 2135412.

First 3 digits of the serial number on GMC. 228, 248, 270, 302. Look for a stamped number on a machined pad just aft of the distributor.
