Just purchased a 1983 Jimmy at an auction and have zero history on it. I ran the vin number confirmed this vehicle came from the factory as a 305, but wanted to verify if that was the current engine. Just checked the casting number on the block and it is 3970010. Quick google search indicates this could be an older 302, 327 or 350 ( 2 or 4 ). Any thoughts on on how else to verify exactly what I have with out tearing into it?
Thanks much

It was difficult to make out, but on the milled surface behind the alternator it looks like 1041BA is stamped - although my searches are telling me I'm missing digits here? Also, on the bottom of the block is 371-338.
