The easiest way to identify a Chevrolet engine is by the casting numbers that are molded into the block. These are generally by the transmission mounting surface on the drivers side of the block. Once you have the number enter it into Google and you should get several links to sites that have compiled this information. I am not listing them here as they tend to come and go. | The easiest way to identify a Chevrolet engine is by the casting numbers that are molded into the block.
