Just snapped some pictures of the numbers on my block. I looked up the number on the back and it looks like it’s an 86 block. Can anyone confirm? And what about the casting on the side?. I couldn’t find an id number anywhere.

Is there anything on the flat area behind the water pump on the passenger side. Below the head.
Nope, I didn’t take a picture but I cleaned it off it’s just a flat blank spot.
Then all you will know is that it is a 86 and later 350CID. Could be either 2 or 4 bolt main caps. Without opening it up, not much more can be known.
someone has motor mount brace rod plates . . . dont toss them out some guys want them . then the rods go to the bell housing cover and help support it all for hd applications
and anymore unless your doing #'s matching i dont care at all if its correct to the vehicle . but cid to what its sold as yes i care . saw a guy years ago buy a car with a LT1 350 engine from a early 70's car . run the block #'s and was a 267 out of a late 70's early 80's emissions g-body car pile of crap motor . so use the block casting info you posted pics of to help id the FAMILY size and run it or build it . and from the mid to late 80's area range and stock its 170-190 hp range i bet .

Not USA made, ha, Canada
If the pad under the RH cylinder head is blank it may have been decked in the past..or maybe it was a replacement short block that never had the original code or partial VIN stamped on it...usually those had a "CE" code though ,to ID it as a "complete engine"..
Most of this was said already...
