Your thoughts on this motor I got for my truck

Ok. The supposed 327 that was in the 80 Camaro I got from the guy down the street is a 350. Here's where everything becomes complicated....

CASTING NUMBER OF THIS BLOCK....
3970010= 69-79/ 350cid/ 185-370hp/ 2or4 bolt/ Car, Truck, Vette
Also
3970010= 1968/ 327cid/ unrated,hp/ 2 bolt/ a=all

THE SUFFIX CODE OF THE BLOCK
V0214TJZ= Flint/ Feb.14th/ 1973/ 350cid/ 4bolt/ truck
________________________________________________________

CASTING NUMBER OF CYLINDER HEADS....
3927186= 68-69/ 302cid/ 2.02intake/ 1.6exhaust


This motor IS a 350 because the suffix code tells me it is. Although the heads are 202's they were built specifically for a 302cid. Now, My thoughts on this and who ever rebuilt this motor. I beleive the only number used for identifying this motor was the casting number. As a result of this, I have to wonder if a 327cid crank was used and if the cam size was choosen useing 327cid specs. Also, if this is the case, then what results can I expect when trying to get the motor running.

If you have any suggestions let me know.

Just thought you might find this interesting
