Mark, the number you are looking for is an 8 digit number with a combination
of letters and numbers, this is an example of the number that is on the 305
block I have in the baack yard. T1203CPC, this is located on the right front
of the block sticking out from the bottom of the head. You may also find
another number stamped alongside the engine number, that will be the VIN of
the origonal car the engine came out of. That number can also be traced to
find out exactly where the engine was first installed and in what it was
installed in.
