Yes, apparently the guy you bought the car from knows. There are varied levels of crate 355's, so it could be anything. You can get them for around $2k up to the $5k range, it all depends on what's inside, the type of heads it has, the power rating, etc. By the picture I can tell you it's a Gen1 SBC, pre-1987. To solve the rest of the mystery, you need the info from the seller.

From the pic, it looks to have iron heads.
