You identify the engine by the stamped code on the machined pad at the front, right side. You could also get the block casting number (7-8 digits) and the date code.

Earlier fuel-injected engines still had all the places machined for the fuel pump pushrod, and if a flat-tappet cam, the lobe is there. The pushrod isn't. If' it's a "roller" (hydraulic roller cam), it will have no lobe on the cam.

Later blocks didn't have the provision for the pump pushrod machined.
