I rechecked the number is a 2. Does that mean anything.

Sorry for all the replys, This engine has headers and a Eldebrock manifold and 4 barrel. Do you know about how much horsepower that would add. This car seems very quick. I guess it could have had other work as well.

The "2" means your engine was originally installed in a Pontiac car. A "1" would stand for Chevrolet.
