It is still a 346 as far as I know. Originally built for road racing by Wheel to Wheel powertrain. Recently rebuilt at 26,000 miles. Grand Am specs, heads are original LS1's but have been polished/ported. Cam is bigger, don't know #'s but may be able to find them. I have receipts for all the recent work, can scan & post if necessary. It was done at Middletown Performance in VA.
A local racer is interested so I may delay in answering until I know if he is commited to it.
