Need some help with engine #s please

I just bought this 86 truck and to make a long story short got hosed.
I found 2 sets of numbers on the engine.
This one is located right behind the alternator in front of the head
K0923FKB
Best I have figured out from searches is
K= Ontario
09= Sept.
23= 23rd
FKB= ??????

The other number I found below the head on passenger side where the motor mount bolts to the block
A0910 but don't know what any of that means.

This motor is in an 86 and the way I figured out it's not supposed to be there is there is no fuel pump block off. The truck is supposed to be 305 according to the VIN.
Thanks for any help
Duke

If the oil dipstick is on the passenger side then it is likely to be:
FKB 1994 305 Truck 175HP L-03 TBI

Locate a block casting number on driver side bellhosing - just behind the head. You should see 5.0L and a casting number - for example (1988-94) 14093627 or 14094766.

Yep that's what it is. I don't understand someone going to the trouble of changing out the motor and not putting a 350 in it. Also it looks like a stock intake but a 94 is TBI would the 86 intake have fit this 94 motor so they could use the Holley carb.?

$$
if you had to send a core block back, it had to be the same as you got
i know a guy who was recently shocked after pulling a 350,and it's not a 350
but some would put a 305 back in if they couldn't afford the core charge
