Default Engine numbers

I have a 79 corvette. The vin says it is a L48 but has L82 emblems.I know they can be switched. The engine numbers on the block are
V0328 CHF. I dont think this is a corvette engine. Also on the intake the numbers are 14033058 CFM 14. Can somebody tell me what I might have? Thanks!

Thanks for that information.
I was wondering what the FB stands for in your reply?
All this is new to me.
Thanks again.

Hey thanks.
I guess I have a car that someone put odds and ends together.
It still looks great and is fun to drive.
Now I am interested in putting headers on it, but do I get headers to fit the engine or the body. In other words since the motor is out of a Camaro or Firebird do I look for something for that or just a 79 Vette with a 350?
