We are pretty sure it is a 305 motor. It is a 4BBL. We have tried a VIN check to find any other specs as far as rear end and came up empty handed. My husband wants to put a 350 motor in it but we want to make sure the transmission and rear end will handle that first. It is in really great shape just needs some TLC that we are willing to give it to make it purr like a kitten again. There is a sticker in the truck with a bunch of codes that we can read but we have no idea what any of them mean. Just looking for some advice as to where to start this sweet project. Please and Thank you.
