I think you are missing one digit in that casting number.

A good place to start is www.mortec.com

Also, I google casting numbers with pretty good success.

Below is a link to the site I usually use for casting numbers. Your block is listed as a 1975-87 454 truck engine. You need the engine code to get the horsepower but I would guess it is rated at 200 -250 hp. There is a good chance that it's a 4 bolt main block.

Yup, that one is listed as 78-90 2 or 4 bolt

Is there a date casting on the block on the opposite side to where you found that number? That should give you the date exactly, not that it really matters too much I guess.

How about the head numbers? Do you have those?

But the thing is how much torque, that's why it's in a Motorhome.
