Jody,
My AERA block book shows that casting number as being a 454 block used from 1970 to 1990. Could have come out of anything, but probably a truck. Th engine code stamped on the deck, at the front of the motor will tell you exactly what vehicle it came out of, but it really does not matter....its still a 454 block.

I wish I had the numbers that were stamped on the front of the block, but this block has been milled a little the numbers were wiped out. The info you gave helps. Thanks for reply.

Hey Bill, was that block number ever used on the 70 LS5?
