I am new to this and just started working on this car. I have a 72 monte that has had a 454 dropped into it by the previous owner. I am having a problem finding the casting number on it. if anyone has any words of wisdom please help.

 

Welcome to the forum!
Pls feel free to post pics of your Monte as well as fill out your profile...
I would also like to extend an invite to join us in our Daily Blog!

After doing a little research... This is what I found:

Generally the Casting numbers are on the back of the block.
Near/around the bellhouseing flange!

Pls let us know what you find out.
Thanks again for joining the MCF Family!

 

All of Chevy Engine Casting Numbers Are Usually Located Behind The Dist. on the Bellhousing Flange ..

 

Thanks Jerry!

 

Thank you for all the help. someone found this off of the engine for me and told me it would tell me more about the engine itself. I was wondering if you could help me decode it.

T7s5300 and I cant tell if the last two numbers are 54 or 34. if you can help id appreciate it
