     :iagree:   Could also be a 360 but 360 4bbl motors are pretty rare.

    I guess it could be any size small block.    :dunno:   The block is red and the heads are blue.   :clueless:  Obviously this engine has had some changes made at some time during its life.  No way to be sure the TQ and intake are what was on it originally..

    I'm thinking with the factory AC it probably has the stock intake on it.

    It looks like that engine has been apart a few times here and there.

    What are the numbers on it?

    Wonder if it's a 318 with the top end of a 340?  Those exhaust manifolds look an awful a lot like mine.

    Pull the valvecovers and get some casting #s for the heads, and the #s for the intake....  :popcorn: I wonder if the are the small valve J heads...  :dunno:
