please help decipher this engine block #
 

Can someone with a book tell me what engine I have? Someone just gave me a Camaro with a good (??) V-8. I am pretty sure it is a 305, but what year? I don't think it was original to the car. These are the numbers I can read on the block. First in small numbers: 05U190340
then in larger numbers: /0721TJJ
Hope that is all the numbers since that is all I can make out. Do these make sense?

------------------
70 GMC C-10
72 GMC C-10 Super Custom
70 GMC Suburban 4x4
69 Chevy C-10 CST
72 GMC C-10 Sierra Grande

1973....TJJ ...350...frwd cab............155...4...C-30 & 3500

1976...TJJ...350...van & bus...L LS9...165...4...C-10 & 1500

Here is where I found the info...... http://www.nastyz28.com/spmenu.html

BTW.....I took a look at your site. Your trucks look really good. I love the rallys on the '72. Can you email me a bigger pic so that I can get a better look at them? Send some details on them if you could.

Thanks

Thanks. The "/" was actually part of a "V", so it was built in Flint. I am going to look for the casting number some night this week. I thought it was a 305 due to the thick balancer (about 1.7"). Makes me feel a lot better to know it is a 350.
72c10, I will try to get you a pic tonight.
