bruce, i'm going to find these sob-ing #'s. those #'s have me P.O.ed. their i feel better now. Thanks again

[Bruce Edwards]

I have a 289 and a 302 block at the shop and I will check for the location in the morning. Sorry my memory is not working.

[G.R.]

I have a 289 hi-po in my car, the casting numbers on the block are just above the starter ---very hard to see---took me awhile to finally locate them---in frustration I finally rubbed a piece of chalk in the area and lo and behold there were the the numbers.
FWIW hope it helps.

[mgilbert]

hello G.R. are the numbers on a little ear or pad that protudes off the block or on the block directly. thanx for your reply mark gilbert

[G.R.]

Mark they were just below the protrusion above the starter, rather small and hard to see

[mgilbert]

G.R. later i'll give it another try. thank you, thank all of you catch you all later

[Bruce Edwards]

Mark,

Right rear side. You may have to remove the starter to see it.
