Janice, the engine casting number is not always in the same place on all of
the stovebolts. Most are on the right side (pass side) under some gunk
somewhere. It is a raised number that is actually cast into the block as
opposed to being stamped into the block like the engine serial number on the
flat pad just rearward of the distributor.
The casting number will not give the exact year of the engine since the same
block casting is used for numerous years. The actual casting date code can
be found hidden by the starter. The starter will more than likely have to be
removed to see it. Find that and we can tell exactly what day it was cast.
The engine serial number may reveal what the engine originally came in and
where it originated.
Good luck. Its kinda fun to know.
Jeff
