I looked at the stamping... could be a replacement block or someone got out the metal stamps. Take a look at the casting numbers located on the side of the block, this should correlate with the 426 stamping if not the 426 has a 4.25 dia. bore and the 440 has 4.32 dia. Both have 3.75 stroke. If your looking at taming the tiger for the street I would start with losing the dual quads and going with a single 4 barrel or opt out for the new EFI that's getting better and better everyday. Find out what your bump stick is and the overall compression of your engine. If your over 10:1 compression this is going to make tuning fun with todays gas-o-hol. If you don't want to tear into your engine to find the number on the cam you can always pull a valve cover and set up a dial indicator for actual lift. If its reading more than .550 lift your going to need a different bump stick for the street. IMO
I'm sure your going to get lots more advice here from the B body brethren...

This is looking like it's got to be changed out. . . . .

Welcome from NC. Nice to be able to do your own engine testing. Let us know what you find out when you tear in to it.
