The truck was, in all likelyhood set up for emissions.
What do you know about the truck's prior owner(s)
Are you sure the pump wasn't removed?
In cars, 350L blocks generally are rated for 180 HP, but sometimes they made the intake valves on the engines for trucks a little larger. So it could be closer to 200 HP.

on the fan shroud there should be a label that gives you your engine info. on the top left it might read PVC AIR EGR CAT also if it meets federal smog or CA. smog requirements
good luck
