Re: 305 engine vins
Were did you get the number from? The casting number you need to identify it is right behind the driver side head, stamped on the top of the bellhousing mounting surface.

Re: 305 engine vins
Recheck the Z5H. Very rarely if ever are there ever numbers in the suffix code.
The casting number will only give to a rough idea what the engine is. It can determine a year range the casting was used in and can tell if it's a 305 or 350 block but won't tell you anything else about what the engine came from. The suffix number can at least tell you a lot more about what the engine originally was and what it may have been in.
The stamped numbers of the suffix code can be hard to read depending on how deep they were stamped and how clean the block is. Z5H can easily be ZSB
