engine origins

[Mahlon Entz]

i was trying to figure out exactly what this motor came out of that is in my regal...it's a 305. my car originally had a turbo v6. i pulled the numbers from the block, in front of the passenger side head (v1118sdh) and looked it up as best i know how but i didn't find out what it was in or if it is anything special, like an HO 305 or not. anybody have any suggestions on how and where to get the origins on this motor?

Doesnt seem like a complete casting number to me. Are you pulling it from between the head and the firewall on the top of the block drivers side ? It will be either 6,7 or 8 digits with no letters

Looks like an '84 LG4. Nothing special.

Front end of the motor, passenger side, just below the head on the block.
I'll check out that link too, thank you much!

Hey if it was up to me it would have a ford motor in it but that's what it came with...nut.

For a little bit, I was seriously considering trying to shove my 429 thunderjet into my regal. Sold the car (thunderbird) before anything serious happened.
