Hi Ted, welcome to the board. Grab these three numbers.
Block casting number, example, 3970010
Engine ID number, example, V0101TAX
V=engine assembly plant
01=month of assembly
01=day of assembly
TAX=application code
Block Date code, example, A012
A=month block was cast
01=day block was cast
2=year block was cast

If your block is from a car it will have a partial VIN number stamped on the pad, near the engine ID number. If your block is from a truck, before the mid seventies, it won't have a partial VIN stamped on it.
