1956 Desoto Adventurer Dual Quad Hemi Engine ID Number???

[musclecarguy1@xxxxxxxxx]

My neighbor by the shop has both a 56 Desoto Adventurer 2 Door Hardtop, and a Convertible. Both are supposedly original engined cars having 330cu inch Hemi's with dual quads. The convertible has the engine ID number located where the book shows it should be "directly behind the water pump on the boss" The hardtop has the boss there but no numbers. Is there another place he could look? Is there a chance this was a replacement block or something? Any ideas ???  Thanks in advance Guys!  Lyle in Montana
