the numbers you after will tell what the block was or is and the year will be in back of the heads top part of the block were bell housing is drivers side block CID other side top will be mouth date year like 4-22-69 . would be letter for month for the D-22-9 most all good shops will deck the block has nothing to do with over heating the block. as bbc have a very thick deck they do not move much . mosty to square the block up and put a good finish down for the head gasket to seal up on the deck. every engine i build i deck less it s a $$$ numbers block for a restore deal were pad numbers match the car trans carb . engine plant .
