    Close on the formula

    Won't know until you pull it apart Probably not on the 14" The heads are non-vortec. My guess not a true "880" motor. Could just be a new block. And it is casting number 10243880 that makes it an 880 motor, not an 880 cast on the side If it has a mechanical fuel pump, it's not an 880 motor
