Default I have a 81 camaro and i need to know what engine i have in it.

It originally came with a 305 according to the title however i do not think its the original motor. Only numbers i seen on motor were 18436572 Can anyone figure it out just by those numbers? I have people telling me its a 305 and others saying a 350!? Im thinking its a 305 personally.

You found those numbers on the intake manifold, and they are your engines firing order.
Look on the block, drivers side near the bellhousing for the casting #. That will tell you what the engine might be. Near the casting #, or in the same place on the passenger side will be the date code. And the numbers stamped on a pad in front of the passenger side head will tell the rest.
