I just checked my identification numbers on my block and it read 14098859. I checked the net and found a site for GM motor ID numbers, scrolled down to find mine, and only found one close that was 14096859. This is a V8 502 Gen V HO. I went and rechecked my number and I was right(14098859). I want to assume that my engine is also a 502 V8 Gen V HO. Can anyone tell me if this is right? Can anyone give me info on where to look to find my exact number? Thanks!

I don't know what site you went to on the net but there is a site called mortec.com that is very helpfull and detailed for casting #'s and there locations. I hope it helps out some,I know its been helpfull in the past to me.

That's the site that I found, but I don't see my number on the list. (14098859). Thanks for the info

Anytime.

Is it possible that yours is the 14096859 and the 6 looks like an 8? Maybe dirty or poor stamp? Seems a little too close, and lack of finding the other number might warrant a second closer look at the casting. Just my $.02

Yeah,thats very possible. I thought the same thing,so I rechecked it and near as I can tell it looks like an 8,but Like you said, could be a bad casting job. Not too dirty though. Thanks again for the input!
