Is it a 455???

[rmeager]

I cannot figure out if my 1971 Skylark has a 350 or 455 motor?
It lists a 455 on the fan shrowd, but I cannot find any other identification? I need to get some parts so i need to be sure.
Any idea how to verify?


thanks,
Richard

Count the number of bolts holding down the valve cover... 6= 350 5=455

Also.. sure way is to look on the back of the block where the trans bolts to.. it'll have 350 or 455 cast into the block between the top two bell housing bolts.
