It's a 350, the 880 block(10243880) is a 1-piece rear main seal and roller cam compatible block. You are likely correct about the year range

To know more we need the head casting #"s which are on the heads under the valvecover area, and the stamped application code which is on a rectangular pad just forward of the passenger side head, facing up.

The other numbers don't mean anything I can decipher.

The engine I.D. number is stamped into a pad that is just above the top water pump bolt hole on the passenger side. The last 2 or 3 letters will generally tell you the power of the motor as built and the car or truck that it was intended to be used in.

On various parts ( like ends of valve covers, oil pan) are paper stickers marked XNF with a time code like 10:10 or some number similar in small print
Based on working in a Gm stamping plant those stickers are what plant assembled the engine and what week ( week 34 of 52) and time
The CAM could be the Canadian Assembly.

The head casting #10239906 is a Vortec 350 head, looks like you've got a production 1996-2001 Vortec 350, a very good engine. :thumbup:

X 2... BING BING BING... You win the prize... best engine it could be... Gen. 1.5 truck engine... most powerful potential SBC heads ever offered on a vehicle, car or truck... support up to 425 - 450 HP... does it have the TBI?

Roller lifters/cam... 9.4:1 compression ratio... great MPG... here's the long block of it:

These motors only came in trucks, vans,& SUV's.They were not tbi motors.They used central sequential fuel injection, (CSFI)except for some 96 model heavy duty applications which used the GM Vortec to TBI intake & pre 96 system.
Net HP ratings as installed in a production vehicle is 255 HP & 330 ft/lb torque. This with all accessories, stock exhaust,&factory tuning.With a good intake,4 bbl carb & long tube headers, this is a 300 HP motor.
