I'm having problems finding it. What side of the engine would the casting numbers be on? The engine block is in a big mess due to oil build up around the engine and also alot of rust. I'm going to clean the engine but there are parts with rust on it and I don't want to blast the area where the casting number is.

Get the casting number off the head first while you clean the block .
When you clean the block just scrape off what oil deposits you can and then any kind of solvent and brush off the remainder of it.
