There should be a block casting number on the left upper bell housing block, it’s not easy to see because the engine is so close to the firewall and parts of other systems crowding the area.

There should be a stamped ID number on a block pad that is hidden from view by the alternator.

The head casting number is on the casting between valves sets under the valve cover. It will be a number string that is 6 to 8 digits long.

No I meant upper left as you are seated behind the steering wheel, The numbers in your photo are not the block casting number it will be a string of digits which like the head’s will be 6 to as many as 8 digits long with no letters.

Also sometimes the block has the last three digits of its casting number on each side of the block just rear of the engine mount. Laying on a creeper looking up they will be backwards to your viewing angle.
