look on the block for any lettering. chevy blocks have "GM" written on the manifold next to the firing order and i think it's also on the back of the block behind the head. also look for distributer location. chevy blocks have the distributer in the back, fords are in the front i think, or atleast on some of em. alot of mopars have the distributer in the front but it sits sideways. or post some pics of it

Re: Engine Block

yup fords are in the front, and if you dont see any markings on the block pull the valve cover, and look on the heads
