ID this motor for me?

this is in a chevy truck i bought yesterday, the guy said it was a buick motor, but was unsure.
i know somebody here will know just by glancing at it.

 

Looks like a 350 Buick. If my thinking is right the engine size is cast in the side of the block.

 

Looks like a AMC 360

but I am leaning towards the 350 buick.

 

look at the back of the block where the engine mates to the trans. #'s are there.

 

350 Buick by looks alone, have one just like it in a 72 skylark. If it runs good, leave it. Plenty of power and it makes people wonder what it is.

 

+3 on the Buick 350. They have a pretty stout bottom end; Jeep bought them from GM to use in Wagoneers and the like for a couple years before AMC bought the company.

 

4x on the Buick 350.

 

ditto on the buick..............dave

 

Without taking out a tape measure (Or looking at the numbers) how do you tell a 350 from a 455?

 

That was a pretty common swap for trucks that had diesals in them.

 

Thats for sure a 350 Buick. Maybe a Rocket? Either way its a good engine.

Look at the back of the block! It is stamped with a 350 or 455!
If it is a 2bl it is a 350!

 

same here i am also thinking that it is a 350 buick motor

 

yea, thats a buick... right behind the intake, just forward of the bell housing on the block should say either 350, 400, 430 or 455... they're all wide as hell and at a glance can be a ***** to tell apart... specially when they're crusty

Rocket? thats a Ransom Eli kinda thing man

 

thanks for the help guys. that's what the guy had said, but he wasn't sure.
thanks again.
