CRX suffix code can be as follows:
1975 350 155 hp 4bbl A or B body cars
1975 350 145 hp 2bbl F or X body cars
1978 305 145 hp 2bbl G body
So if in deed it came out of the Nova (X body), then its the second one.

CRX signifies that the motor came out of a '75 Nova/Camaro/Chevelle/Monte Carlo/full-size Chevrolet. It did NOT come out of a '75 Corvette or Monza. Safe to say you ahve been told the correct info. BTW it was rated at 155hp in the larger cars and 145hp in the Nova/Camaro.
