Default automatic 350s vs std 350s??

Guys I am going to look at a motor tomorrow. Seller wasn't clear if the motor is a 78 350, or a crate 350 IN a 78. Truck engine.

My question is this: Its an automatic motor. Is there a provision in the crankshaft for a pilot bearing? I'd be mating it to a muncie 4 spd...I have a std. flywheel. I'm guessing its just the flywheel change and a pilot bearing and I'm good to go.

Supposed to run fine, and comes with an engine stand. Guy is moving.
