Block engine number location Hi All,
I'm just sorting out my paperwork for my engine transplant and I need the engine number...and I can't find it
. Where abouts on the block is the little bugger, or does it not have one?
Not a problem if there isn't one as I'll just stamp one on to suit.
Thanks
Jim

Below is a picture of a f-body LS1/ls6 block with the number location. This is actually a LS6 block. The number is hard to see on a LS1 block. This number will match the last 9 digits of the VIN#.

I was wondering if that was it. I called my local GM dealer with the serial number from the right deck surface in front of the head. He said that a 6.0 from a 2006 GTO should begin with "6MC". Mine begins with "VF0" OR "UF0". What do you make of that? I had him check the donor car VIN to see if the engine had been replaced. He found no record of it.

Strange block casting number… I’m looking at purchasing a take out LS6 long block from an 05 CTS-V, but it has a strange casting number on it I could find nothing about online.
The casting number is in the usual place on the drivers side rear of the block, and is # 650152005.
Can anyone confirm this is an LS6 block? Thanks!

LS2 with UF0 engine serial prefix I was wondering if that was it. I called my local GM dealer with the serial number from the right deck surface in front of the head. He said that a 6.0 from a 2006 GTO should begin with "6MC". Mine begins with "VF0" OR "UF0". What do you make of that? I had him check the donor car VIN to see if the engine had been replaced.
