As Doug stated, the number "stamped" into the block below the left head is supposed to match the engine tag on the left inner fender. The fact yours does not implies your motor was changed at some point in the life of the car. The block has a casting part number on the oil pan rail next to the starter. That isnt a serial number. See example stamping of block serial number
