Based on the first number alone, it could be a 327 or a 350

The truck is a 75 GMC 6500 dump truck,that the engine is comming out of, I found the heads numbers on a GM site and they show as 350 69-79 truck heavy duty, so I am pretty sure its a 350, I wish I could figure out the vin/suffix code stamped into the pad in front of the head, but I will have the motor out and on the way home in the morning and I will be able to check the date code on the back of the back, then it will be disasembled, then I will know if it has a steel crank,ect.
