That'll be tough. The only block ID is the casting number and it could have been in any platform made by FoMoCo that offered the CJ or SCJ as an option.

Post the block casting number (on bell housing above starter).

DOVE-A is an excellent block, came with beefier mains/side rails, machined for 2 and 4-bolt mains, but wasn't used exclusively in the CJ or SCJ. Haven't heard about the VIN number being stamped into the block at the factory.
