Ok guys Ive found a big block now who can tell me about it ie;horse power rating 2 x 4 bolt main etc block #1401544 i know its a 84 truck/motorhome see what else u can find out tks 65 s/d
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. James

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?
