is this a 350 or a 305? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i bought a 1987 chevy half ton truck 155,000 miles on it, i was told when i bought it that it had a chevy 305 engine in it

the exhaust needed replaced so i bought a pipe from the CAT, to the muffler a muffler and a tail pipe, everything fit as planned except for the cat to muffler pipe, so i cut here and there and made it fit because it was too long.

later I checked the VIN # which said that the truck had a 350. this truck has a 700r4 tranny with 3.08 gears in the rear. I don't get to drive too many trucks and am not sure how to identify this engine seeing as how the 305 and the 350 are the same block. Can someone give me some advice?
