By the distributor should be a C with an F inside it, Cleveland Foundry. The number is EDB-6015-A, '55-'57 292, or EDB-6015-E, '58-'59 292 or 312.

If the pan is off the engine, look at the main caps; ECZ on the caps for a 312 and EBU on the caps for a 272 or 292. If the pan is still in place, then look at the outer edge of the crankshaft flywheel flange for a 5/16” diameter dot. If the large dot is there, then it’s a 312. A nuance to this is that there are some 312 cranks out there with no dot. Here are some pictures of 312 crankshaft flanges with the identifying 312 ‘dots’.

Charlie, I believe casting numbers by the distributor are Dearborn blocks, mostly earlier ones like EBU, EBV and ECG. Cleveland castings No's were on the side of the block.

That's correct, but if I'm not mistaken, the Cleveland Foundry CF is also found by the distributor on Cleveland blocks..

Are the Dearborn blocks any better or worse?
