There should be a number on the back of the block, behind the driver side head on a flange where the bell housing bolts up. You should be able to pull that code and try one of the websites out there to find out what it is.

looking at what you posted, the GM 5.0l is a 305 engine. The 5.7l is the standard 350. the olds and buick small blocks varied slightly vs the chevy counter parts but not in displacement. you have a 305 olds motor, which is the same size as a chevy 305, but the valve covers are different and dipsticks are different. I think the h.p rating on the olds 305 is around 160h.p., the Chevy versions of the 305 ranged from 150h.p. to 190h.p.
