An '86 305 truck engine is likely to be an LG4 and if memory serves, 145 HP and 245 TQ. Not real powerful.

14094766 comes back as 86-up 2-bolt (all 305s are) one-piece block. It's basically in anything 305 from 1986 through 2003 and to the current day in marine applications. If it has a carburetor it will be an LG4. It won't have a roller cam.
