thank you all for the input
I'm almost positive it's an l31
it does have the lifter retainer an I can see the lobe for the fuel pump rod.
I'll post pictures either later this evening or first thing tomorrow.
I plan on replacing all the gaskets this Friday.
I wonder if by taking off the timing chain sprocket I will find sl.e numbers for the cam
or am I better off removing it to look to look the numbers on it
