If the dizzy is in the front, then its a ford, this only applies to small block. In the back could be a dodge or chevy.

Try www.ls1tech.com for tips to id that block.

If it makes a noise kinda like "VROOOOOOOOM!" then it's probably an engine.

Are there heads? If those heads came stock on it use the head numbers. Then GOOGLE that **** and it will come and tell you wut car it fits and wut yea they came out in.

Some BB chevys have dizzy in front?

no all bbc's have them in back unless you use a crank trigger then you dont have one at all.
