The engine block code numbers are on the back of the block left of the crank. But you have to have the engine out to see them. Also, you may be able to identify it by the head casting number. It's under the valve cover. Trying to identify an engine from the pad on the block is not always

I had a fan on my Nova. It also was installed with ties. That was 6 years ago. It's still on with no problems for the new owner. Is it a pusher or puller? If it's a puller, ( inside the engine compartment) you can try and mount it like they do on the current cars. Heck, check the junk yards
