    correct on the head there is a circle and in that is the year of the head as longs as the head is the orginal with the block other then that your screwed...there was a site you could look up the block code to find what car and vin to find out if it was stolen and all.. but I dont remember it now

    this just a random thought. ive search the net for a tool or something that will look up codes no luck. there is no way (that ive found yet) to check a block for the general public without having the cops do it. so whats the point of posting a block code on here. its not like anybodys going behind the posters making sure there product is straight. when was the last time u bought a motor an really checked to see whats up. i know ive never done it. i can put money on it 99% of the people on here havent either. just a thought.
