Ok, I just drove the Formula and met up with Dennis. Got a window from him, so I can replace that (Thanks man), but in the process of looking it over, we noticed that the VIN's 8th digit was an E, which according to my 82-92 Haynes book, this was the TBI 305... NOT a 350 since the only one that is listed is a TPI version. Now it doesn't really look like the engine was swapped out, but hard to say. But if this is a TBI 350 (obviously from a different vehicle) how can I tell if its a 350 or the original 305? Dennis said there should be either a full VIN or partial VIN stamped on the block just behind the alternator somewhere. Can anyone tell me more or if it is or not? It appears to have been repainted, so the stickers on the door and on the plate the hood connects to have been removed. I am going to be really upset if I was told it was a 350 and it turn out to be a 305. HELP!
