 The engine size is cast into the block in large letters behind the engine mount
brackets on the side of the block. Congrats on finding the best small block 
engine
ever factory produced!  350 reliable streetable hp is a joke, 450 is easy, 
although
not quite so streetable. I have about 475 rear wheel hp (10.28 @ 130 mph, 2875 
lbs)
from my 401 with only 10:1 compression, so it runs on pump gas. How far do you 
want
to go?
