Ok, I know you all will think this is lame but I need to find out what 6 I have in my 58. Think it's been swapped since the guy said so. Not sure where the numbers are and then where to go to decipher it. I have searched the net and haven't found anything on it. Any help would be great!
Ok back from the depths of grease!! More grease on that number but got er off,
engine #e1te6015 aa Intake bolts on like your 300, also on the pass side
The first two digits of the casting number say that it was first meant for production in 1981. That is definitely either a 240 or 300. The only way to tell for sure which is to measure the stroke.

It's a 300, the 240 stopped production in 74 or 75, and generally people replace the 240 with the 300. It'd be really odd to find a 240 crank, rods, and pistons in an 80's 300 block.
If you want to check the stroke, use a dowel about a foot long down a spark plug hole. Mark it at the piston's highest point, and at it's lowest point. If it's about 4" difference between the marks, it's a 300. If it's a little over 3", then it's 240 innards in there.

I agree it would be strange, but I wouldn't put it past anyone.
