Several spots to look for casting & other [url=http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=31] numbers[/url] are:

Above freeze plugs on left side of block

On top of machined surface of block protruding out from under head below plug # one behind alternator.

Under valve cover between valve springs and driver’s side of head.

Transmission & rear-end will have numbers stamped and or cast on them as well.

Additionally one can tell if engine is a 170cid. by measuring short coolant hose between water pump & head. If it is about 1" it's a 170cid., if it is about 3" it could be either 198cid. or 225cid.
This thread should be moved to “Otherâ€￾

The numbers will be hard to find, clean the dirty goo off and you should be able to read them.
