ok i know its not a yblock  but i just bought a bigblock today  the guy told me he thinks its a 460 or a 429 he said it could be a 428 (i dont think so)  we both looked the engine over and the only numbers we could find on it were B9VE-B  are these the numbers i need  to determin what i have? hopefully this engine will be going in my 57 any help is appreciated

does anyone know if there is a websit that can decode engine stampings?

its been awhile since i posted this  but i finnally got the engine tonight and once i got it out in the sunlight i checked the number on the block and i made a mistake the number is C9VE-B  and i took some pics of it and the heads  here is the link

i think some one posted on here that the earliest 429/460 would have a number that started C8  so i hope this means its is a 429/460

also i found a number inside where the trans would mount it appears to say 460 does that mean anything ?

i tried to take a pic of the number on the side of the engine after i cleaned it up
