At the very top of this forum is a sticky titled "Read First: Casting number id and general info links - Updated 1-11-06"
In it you will find links to pages that tell you exactly how to read casting numbers and date codes, among other things.
The casting number will tell you what car line that block was originally designed for, but not what vehicle your particular engine was originally installed in. That information is only found on the tag attached to the one of the coil mounting bolts on the intake manifold, and unfortunately they usually wind up getting removed, especially if the manifold is changed out for an aftermarket part.
