Default Engine stamp code

Have an old engine, I'm trying to find out what it is.
Did a web search, and didn't find anything.
Stamped V1280XTD.
Old style heads, two barrel manifold.
I think it was a 350cid.
Any help here???

Stamped code V1280XTD is a Chevrolet 350 V8 from the 1980s.

V = Flint, MI plant
12 = December
80 = 1980 model year
XTD = 350ci, 2-barrel carb, 165 hp, used in full-size cars and light trucks.
