Can anyone tell me is there a easy way to find out if you are actually looking at a 289 block. I,m looking to purchase one but it looks just like a 302 block. Is there something that the 289 had or didnt have that i can just look at it and say it is a 289. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Scot

"2-8-9" is cast in the lifter valley area.
