305 vs 350-How to tell the difference?

[99NJCobra]

I'll be coming home on Leave shortly and plan on going to look at a '55 chevy pick up I may buy as a project. The seller says the guy he bought it from told him it has a 350 in it. Is there anyway to be certain without tearing into the motor?

The block numbers will tell you what it is.
