Look at the head casting numbers (located under the valve covers) to see if
you have a HO 305 or the regular version.

Mortec.com says this:

14010201...305...80-85...2 main cap bolts

5.0 means it is indeed a 305. 5.7 is a 350.

Don't know about the LG or A225.  Maybe someone else can help you on that.

Heh Gang.  My builder (younger brother who got me started in this sport)
has
roughed my 305 into my 54 3100 we are rodding.  My questions are as
follows:
       1)   How much space should we have between the back of the
distributor
cap             and the firewall?  It is sitting now at 1.25 inches.
       2)   The motor has casting marks of
                GM   5.0   LG       14010201       A225
             Any help with what these indicate will be greatly appreciated.

The information available from this group is phenomenal.  Thanks for
sharing
your knowledge and advice.
