Hello, got an engine short block, supposed to be a 318. Did some searches but didn't really find the answer. Hope maybe someone can help? On the front passenger side of the block it has the numbers 1737929. Found someone saying that this number is associated with several early Mopar small blocks, 318 being one of them. The front drivers side of the block has LP8-245898 and under that it has 97321 and a star symbol next to it? I'm looking to find some heads for it but wanted to figure out what I have to make sure heads will be correct for it! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
318 question?

The engine's displacement is cast on the side of the block.

Driver's side of the block. Not the front.
Look on the block on the driver's side behind and above where the starter mounts. There will be a casting number and the engine size will be some of the last numbers there.

And also, most SBs actually have a long string STAMPED into the front of the driver side block, right below the head parting line. The first ?? 2-4 figures have the CID coded right into the number, unless it was a rebuild and marked out
