St. Ebony took my suggestion.The VIN will tell you what the CAME with, but there's no guarantee that it wasn't changed at some point. Which is another reason to go for a car that was in a bad wreck, since it is less likely that they changed the motor in it. And, chances are they would swap in a 350 if anything so if it's a 350 VIN code it will probably have a 350 in it still.

 

Thanks for all your help guys. I just got back from the junk yard and I couldn't find anything that was 100% for sure a 350.

"sometimes there is a casting number on the underside of the block under the exhaust manifold"
I saw a couple that had 638 casted on the block where the 305 or 350 should be. Could this tell me what size engine it is?

 

This should help you out a bit: http://www.chevy-camaro.com/chevy-ca...oding-help.asp
And these guidelines aren't specific to Camaro's only, it also goes for Chevy engines in general.

 

Heh I cant even tell what Im looking at myself on my own car (title says REBUILT/RESTORED so it makes me wonder)

 

Rebuilt means it was salvaged...bought back and rebuilt.

Both my cars are R-Titled cars..

 

Well I ended up picking up a 350 today. Thanks a lot guys. The tips helped a lot. I ended up picking up a "Roller or flat tappet cam one-piece rear seal" (Casting # 14093638). It had no intake manifold, throttle body, valve covers or the wheels on the front for the serpentine (dunno what to call them) but it was only $140 after a 30 day warranty. Now I need to buy a cherry picker so I can mount it on my engine stand.

 

I hope you have the TH350 rather than the T5, a nice 350 could send s*** flying in a T5
