You need to give us your block number off the right side and your casting date on the left side near the pan. Blockk numbers are big, casting dates are small. Soapstone helps with the small numbers.

Probably need to tear it down first. I have seen a little bit of everything done to these old engines. What the numbers say on the outside does not necessarily mean that is what you will find on the inside, unless you know 100% for sure it hasn't been into before. I rebuilt one some time back that had been rebuilt 4 times previously and had broken 2 crankshafts and still hadn't damaged the block. I personally never order parts before disassembly and careful inspection.

WM gave sage advice to tear down before ordering parts.
