Hey guys,
I just pulled the motor out of my 78. I always thought I had a L-48 but now I am not so sure.

Looks like V0929TBM with C90112144 stamped over it.

I'm new to this so any help would be appriciated. It looks like a truck motor to me?

Thanks everyone.

It's a 350 cu.in engine assembled on Sept 29 1978 in Flint MI out of a 1979 light or medium duty truck.

That's what I was thinking. Just wanted a second opinion. I guess I don't need to worry about not tearing up that motor then.
