Need GM engine code help

I looked every where trying to find the specs behind these engine codes. The information I have is that it came out of a 1993 Caprice Police car. It has Vortec heads. The engine code that is stamped on the block reads V1210CJA and the numbers near where the casting numbers are suppose to read are in 2 dif spots but in the same area. They Read 50LG and L027. The numbers on the Intake manifold read GM 14101074 and the stamps behind the flywheel read 627 638 and on the sides of the block are stamped 627 upside down. I cant find any information on any of these numbers that match. Also, according to the nastyZ28.com website i was looking at there is no listing for the CJA suffix. Can anyone help me figure out what motor and specs this is? Plllllllleaaaassseeeee??? :P  

It comes up as a 1988 305 180Hp 4brl carb. and from a camaro.

Well i know its not a 305...im 100% positive its a 350 and it has vortec heads with the original intake manifold on it. Did any of the numbers match that you looked up? If so , do you have a link? Why isnt it coded like all the other gm small blocks ive seen? Is it possible its from a 1996 caprice? If thats the first year for Vortec heads. Cuz its def a vortec head with center bolts through the valve covers.  

I want to start working on this motor to drop in my 84 Z28 with my 5 speed and 3.73 rear end, but i dont even know what it is yet O.o   My friend bought the motor while it was still in a camaro, it was rebuilt and put in the camaro. He ended wasting the tranny to where it would only engage 2nd gear and the rear end was 16 in. off center, LOL so i scraped the car pulled the motor, and now it sits. Anxious to drop it in my Z28 and rip some pavement.  

Well it seems to be a 305 the 50LG is actually 5.0LG and that means it is a 305 which is a 5.0litre.
What is the block casting number on the back of the block.
Also how many intake bolt holes is there on the heads 8 or 12.
May be even list the head casting numbers.

There are no casting numbers on the heads. Maybe under the valve covers but not visable atm. But, there is 12 bolts to the intake and they are 11/16 bolts. Can u leave an e-mail and ill send you some pics of it. See if you see anything telling. Thats why i was saying, this thing isnt stamped like all the other small blocks ive seen. Where the block casting number is suppose to be it reads 50LG. And off to the side running verticle it reads L027.  

Ok 12 bolts is non vortec if it had vortec heads there would only be 8 bolts.
Yes the head casting numbers are under the valve covers.
On the older blocks the casting numbers are on the driver side and on the newer model blocks some wear in the 80's they put them on the passenger side.
Also the 627 on the side of the block is the last 3 numbers in the casting number and it is a 305 block I have one sitting on a engine stand that was also thought to be a 350 by one of my costumers.
So yes you have a 305.

Thanks for all the info man, i appreciate it. Kinda sucks tho. My guess is im better off using the 305 out of my 84 Z28 H.O. and slapping this 600 edelbrock on it and calling it a day.

But, the car isnt getting any power. Is this a ignition switch problem? Or you think the main fusebox blew? Cuz the power windows work and the seats move with the electric motor. And the headlights work. But not getting any interior lights,sounds. And its dead when you turn the key. I traced down the fuseable links and checked them all and its all live until it comes into the cab.

Thanks again!  

Your welcome,
Ya the 1984 will be cheaper if you deside to rebuild it be cause it is a 2piece seal block and the 627 is a one piece seal and cost more.
If you need a good combo that will produce decent power for a 305 chevy build then let me know.

For your electrical question I really do not know that much about auto electrical system so I can't answer that for sure.

No problem.
anything else just ask.
