Re: big block
Yes they came with big blocks, 427 or more commonly 366 (short stroke )... There are clues as to what Should be in there, but that may or may not be what is actually there. The truck motors are "tall deck". ( extra rings on thepistons for oil control) meaning they are wider across the I take manifold...

Re: big block
Post the Engine Code on the Front Pad and we should be able to tell you what you have. If it is original and has Chrome Valve Covers, I would say that someone put them on.
