Default FE casting number location/decoding info?

Just became an FE owner with the purchase of ERA 234. I would like some info on casting number locations on the block and heads. I know for sure this is a sideoiler but beyond that I am unsure. Any and all help would be appreciated, I am curious about the year of the block,type of heads,etc. From the lack of valvetrain noise I don't think it's a solid lifter cam, but I don't know how to tell without pulling a lifter. Engine is supposed to have steel crank, LeMans rods, but I guess to verify I would have to pull the pan? Previous owner did not have any specs on engine build that could be verified. This was a factory assem. complete turnkey, ERA had no specs from 1990 on the engine or, who they got to assemble.

Thanks in advance,
Toby
