SKIP58

Hi My name is Skip and I need some help with the engine # on my 58 Belvedere . I am just starting the resto and pulled the engine out last night.Engine block # is LP8-076461. Is it a 318 or 350 ? I bought this car from the original owner and it's been in my garage for the past 22 years waiting on me and some much needed funding to start the restoration. She is complete . The elderly man I bought her from told me that he won the car in the state fair back in 1958. Some years later is was parked out by his barn and left until I came along. I am a body man by trade but have restored and worked on many old cars . Just a little about myself, Glad to be here. Skip
