I have 2 bbc core motors. I was told they are 454 truck motors,but I cant find the code or casting numbers in my limited library. On the left rear of motor #1 the casting # is 361959. On the pad in front its stamped cof331056. Motor #2 the casting # is 389628,and the front pad is stamped ce556520.They both have small oval port heads and Q-jet intakes and carbs that I'm not going to use. My plan is to use the best block,crank,and rods and go from there.Can anyone look these up?

Engine number 2 sounds pretty plain jane, and I don't see the numbers from the 1st- might recheck it to see if its correct? Sounds like probably gonna be a "which is in best condition" contest though rather than trick factory setups.
engine #1 isnt special, but I dont even see #2 on the list. Need to recheck the casting # tomorrow. #2 has a flex plate and a pilot brng,and the bellhouseing dowels are missing. I could scrap them both and keep the small block that was in the car since 1958,but that would be too genaric.
