how to identify my engine
recently purchased a 24 mach 1 magnum was told new motor by merc but i have my suspicions i am currently replacing the exhaust and can see there is blue paint under the black on the block it looks like original heads went back on there is a red reman plate stuck on it the casting number is 14015445 when i look this up it shows truck 1975 to 1987 4 bolt main does anybody have any ideas?

Sounds like you identified the block casting #? As far as what's inside, that's another story, who the hell knows.
There isn't more information on the reman tag, like who did it? |
tag
thanks for the reply
its a generic tag red silver band across the middle with 721852 and stamped in lower left corner #1227 thats it no name do you think the vin would help and how about blue paint on a chevy |

Maybe someone can chime in with more information -- the casting # you posted was on the back of the block above the "transmission" correct? You can also try to get the casting # of the cylinder heads. 1401544 1975-87 454 4.250 4 bolt mains (casting number mayalso be 14015445) |
thats right
numbers came from the back of the motor
thanks for the help i guess it will be hard to know for sure without a tear down but it runs great i am leaving it basically stock except exhaust |

It's usually the big noisy & thirsty things in the back...
