Thread: Target Master 305

I have never owned a crate motor because I always built my own motors, so the best I can do for you is to copy and paste comments made by those who have owned crate motors.....

You may be able to identify your motor more closely by providing us with some numbers off of it. On the rear shelf of the block, where the bellhousing would bolt on, on the driver's side, is a number that is cast into the metal when the block was poured at the foundry. This is called simply a block casting number.

On the passenger side front of the block, there may be a stamped number or alpha number. It will be just above the passenger side top water pump bolt head, stamped into the block.

Pull a valve cover and see if you can give us the head casting number off one of the cylinder heads. It will be cast right there in plain view when you pull the cover off. It is a raised number, cast into the metal when the metal was poured into the mold to make the head.
