Ha!  Wrong.    The serial number for the block is 
stamped into the flat surface of the head mating 
surface of the block that protrudes from the head
at the left rear edge of the block. (above your mechanical
fuel pump) 

The head being the question here, has little to do with the block.

You have to pull your valve cover to 
get the casting numbers of the head itself.

The non-air port head could easily still be an
early 1500 head.

Look on the engine block for the identification letters and numbers.  It's on a 
flat surface, right beside where the head gasket would lie.  Think it's the 
right front corner of the engine.  That number identifies the block.  Lets 
start there.

I'm looking for a little help.  While replacing a leaking manifold gasket
today I got a rather big surprise.  Not only am I certain that the engine
in my 79 is not the original, I'm not even sure what or where it came from.
