Confirm the casting number and date of the block is correct and cast before the build date of the car.

The engine number should be in two separate stamps on the same pad
A partial VIN, usually a smaller font and a suffix code which should start with the plant, date and engine code

There's lots of other sites with similar info, so you should be able to work it out.
Good luck
