Should have a number stamped on it....near the front of the block, just
below the head, on the right side.  It might say 22 if it's a 225, and 17 if
it's a 170.  Might even have a letter first, indicating the year of the
engine, such as U for 1964.  So, you could expect to see something like U22
if it's a 64 225.

My info source is questionable, since it only goes up to 1963     :)
