www.mortec.com will tell you were to find the casting number and tell you a little about it. The block casting number is on the back side of the block were the tranny mounts on the top. Usually hard to see if the is a lot of grime on it. That dot with other dots around it shows the time of day and what shift it was cast on I think.
