Basically, just a 327 or a 350. Be sure the heads on the new engine have the proper bolt holes on the ends where the accessory brackets mount. If you have a stick shift, be sure there's a hole for the clutch linkage pivot ball near the rear of the left side of the block. This is all assuming it's a Chevy 307, not an Olds, neither of which came from the factory in an '81 truck.
