Engine & Trans identification

I need to find the year of my engine since it had been swapped when I got the car. Are the numbers located the same place as older blocks? What's the best way to get to them?
On the transmission, what are the gear ratios? I have the ratios for a close ratio and a wide ratio but don't know which I have. Do the numbers cast into the trans case mean anything? It has 13-86-212-901-11 (may be an H).

Thanks,
Rob

Re: Engine & Trans identification

here u go.

http://www.mortec.com/location.htm

click on V-8 casting numbers to identify your block.

I would suggest placing aluminum foil over the casting number and rubbing it so that you imprint the number in the foil.... or using a digital camera and flash to get the number.

sorry.... dont know about ID'ing tranmissions. which tranny is it anyway? T56?

Re: Engine & Trans identification

Thanks for the reply. I've been building older sbc's for years and the mortec site has always been helpful. I know very little about the newer engines and thought this might be an LT1 but I just found out LT1's don't have a traditional distributor. Is this correct? If so, I don't have an LT1.

Yes, the trans is a T-56. I've got a friend that used to build tranny's and he's looking up the numbers for me. Hoping someone here would also know just to be sure.

Thanks,
Rob
