    Block casting # should be on the right bank below cyl #4 above the freez plugs.
    Try that

    The 429/460 Engineering revision number on the block is located directly behind the starter motor and reads vertically up the passenger-side cylinder bank.
    Let us know what you have.

    It is a 71 block. Is the motor apart or the heads off? you can measure the stroke to see what you have since the 29 and the 60 have the same bore or you can look at the crank if you have the pan off.
