Jeff,

After checking out the 228 block that I have in the garage, the casting number should be on the manifold side of the engine, just above the oil pan (for a GMC).

Mine reads 6107326, which means 228 cubic inches manufactured between 1939 and 1952 (according to Inliners).

After viewing your pics, that casting number appears to be on the head, and not the block.

I hope that helps

John
