go to www.442.com and look up your casting numbers in the FAQ section.

If it has center bolt valve covers, it is not an Oldsmobile engine, it is a Chevrolet.

I dunno.
I can tell you from experience, that my 87 Monte SS came with a 305, and my 75 monte had a 350.
Other than that, I'd get that book, or join a Chevy forum.

Depends on the year. The 305 came out in '76 or '77 - I can't remember which. Prior to that, the 350 was the smallest (and most common) Monte engine. At some point in the late 70s or very early 80s, the 305 was the BIGGEST Monte engine you could get. Chevytalk.org is a great website for the bowtie guys.
