1947farmer,

There will be a long casting number on the side of the block. This number would be used for only a few years, so by knowing the casting number and date code you can ID the engine block. I don't believe any casting number ever lasted 10 years, they are always changing things which then makes them change the casting number.

Hope this helps!
