Hi Gary: Most 1/2 ton Burbs of that era came with the tried & true 350
(or 5.7) engine. My 87 has the throttle bottle injection or TBI as its called , and I believe that was the first year for it. So if this Burb is an 86 it'll have a carburator and if it is an 88 it will have the TBI engine.. Also with the 1989 model GM started to use the serpentine belt system..
