0010 350: could be 75 Corvette, or 77 350 Chev or 1980 305

I think the heads are 67-70 327.

You're missing a character. Got a picture of the pad?

That's an engine assembled in the McKinnon Industries engine plant in St. Catherines Ontario on April 25 and installed in a '77 'B' body Chev, probably an Impala.

170HP w/4bbl carb., RPO LM1.
