i am asking how can i differ a buick 350 engine from a buick 455 one?
i cant reach the engine id on the block due to dust on it. The engine is in a 1976 olds 442 and i can't recognize it if it is a 350 or a 455.
Thanks for your help

Note on the Buick engines the distributor is on the front of the engine and fuel pump is on the left. I'm not sure if the Buick is the same as Olds as far as the difference between the SB and BB is basically deck height.

I've had some researches and noticed that my engine is a buick. Maybe the previous owner replaced the original engine with a buick. The distributor is in the front and the fuel pump on the left of the engine so i am sure it is a buick.

As Eric said, Buick engines had a cast number corresponding to the displacement on the rear shelf, just forward of the transmission.
Since I'm an Oldsmobile guy, I didn't know that. I had to Google it.
