Look along the sides of the block just above the oil pan. A correct 40 block should have two humps on each side. They should be right where the pan gasket protrudes out some. I circled it in one of the pictures. The other picture shows what is referred to a raised block. 41-42 blocks have that. Look around the intake where it meets the block and check for a ledge .
