I am looking at a 460 engine out of a late 70s era car. Where do I need to look to get the casting numbers to find out what it is? Thanks for any help.

As seen in other threads in this forum.

Casting numbers & Casting Dates (two seperate markings) are on the :
Block = up behind the starter
Intake=Middle area
Heads = Just above Exhaust Manifold ports below valve cover.
