If the block is from Rover, the engine number is viewable from above. On the
moderately early engines (after 1974) the serial number is near the dipstick;
on later engines it's near the bellhousing. Some good data is available at
http://www.british4x4.nl/TheSpecialist/8cyl.htm. You might also take a look
at www.rover-v8.co.uk/body_data1.htm. The David Hardcastle book I mentioned,
"Tuning Rover V8 Engines", is a real help for anyone getting started in this.

How does one tell what vintage a block is? Where is the serial number or
marks that will tell?
