What engine is this?
« on: May 15, 2012, 07:20:20 pm »
I got a free complete engine from a friend who said a guy swapped it out for an inline 6. He has no idea what it is other than its an sbc.

I'm guessing it's a 305 because its got 5.0 on the side. Correct?

Here's the numbers I got off it:

Block:
14093627
J306
V1031CLH

It also has a Quadrajet carb on it:
17087129
2826 jsc

Intake:
14101074

I've looked up all these numbers on Google and can't seem to narrow it down.

305 87-94 2 bolt, Roller or flat tappet cam, one-piece rear seal date 09/30/86, the intake came off a 82-92 chevy car hope that helps just a little more

Thanks. How and where did you figure that out?

I looked up the CLH suffix code on chevymania.com and it says it's from an '87 Chevelle L-69.

Would that be a viable engine to keep to swap with my current 350?

Does it have enough power to push around my '87?

It has enough power, but a 350 makes more sense IMHO.  If you have access to a cylinder leakdown tester you could check it out.  If all cylinders show minimal leakdown you could put it in as a cheap way of getting around, but don't expect much.
