To find the engine code, you need to look for a casting number on the engine block itself. This number will identify the specific engine. The location of the casting number varies slightly depending on the specific engine, but it's usually on a flat surface of the block, often near the bellhousing or near the front of the engine. The number will be several digits long and may include letters. Once you have that number, you can look it up online to find out the exact specifications of your engine.
