i know they do still have the #s on the block. if i remeber right its ether on the back of the block or near the back down by the frost plugs. hope ths leads you in the right direction. also i would suggest maby geting a good engine degreaser and clean th motor real good before you start looking so that the #s are not hidden in all the lod motor goop.
