Spheroidal Graphite (Cast) Iron. As the name implies, graphite is present in spheroidal form instead of flakes and compared with Grey Cast Iron it has higher mechanical strength, ductility and increased shock resistance.

That engine came factory in the 87 camaros. It is not a junk engine but it is NOTHING special either. So I guess you could say it is a all right engine.

SGI Fuel was created in 2002.
SGI Dogfight was created in 1983.
I would assume it means a "short block" engine, as opposed to a "long block" engine used with manual transmissions.
how can i find what kind of engine i have
The block number "880" typically indicates a manufacturing year for an engine, and the "5.7LG" refers to a 5.7-liter engine, often associated with General Motors. The "SGI" code can suggest it is part of a specific production line or model designation. However, without additional context or a specific manufacturer, pinpointing the exact year is challenging. Generally, engines with similar designations were produced in the late 1990s to early 2000s, but it's best to consult specific vehicle documentation for accurate dating.
I'm trying to find out what it means if there's oil all over the top of the engine block
Means 350 cubic inch Block space
