My truck has a '85 305,,,,,,,look on the block below the #1 spark plug (passenger side, front plug). Mine has 305 cast into the block. Don't know if they did that to all of them but it's worth a look.

IMO,,,,,,I'd look for a different engine. Mine is a dog,,,,,it will barely pull this 3/4 ton longhorn. I've heard other people have promblems with these engines too.
