| − | + | The Chevy V8 block casting number (aka "c/n") is generally atop the transmission mounting area of the block. The date code will usually be found in the same area, sometimes on the opposite side from the casting number, but not always. | |
| + | |||
| + | It is common to use just the last three numbers of the c/n when dealing with casting numbers, i.e. block c/n 10243880 would be called an "880" block. Usually the last three numbers aren't repeated but there are cases like the SBC head c/n 462 that- for some unknown reason- was reused 5 times! Fortunately this is rare. | ||
