Iv established its a 350 made 77-79, but thats where the internet dries up. any first hand knowledge of the block would be apriecieated, hp? torque?

I think that was the 190 HP 350, nothing special just a low compression smog engine. Nothing wrong with using it as a foundation for an engine build, the heads and the dish pistons will be the parts that hold back any good power.

Welcome to TC.
Now get the rest of the info as shown in the pic -'engine id number/VIN code & block date code' and we can tell you what it 'was'.
