Is there anyway to visually find out if an engine is a 350 or 305. I think it is a replacement block, and not GM. It does not have the engine stamp on the front under the alternator. I can't get to the back of the engine by the dizzy to see the stamp there, and i don't think taking the heads off is in my skillset. is there anywhere else i can look? for now it won't be that big a deal because i won't be doing much performance enhancements, but i think i need to know when i get a new carb. any help would be appreciated.
