the casting numbers should be on the back of the drivers side on the block. right along the bellhousing area. if you get the numbers I can check them in my power source manual.

that is definitly a 96-98 block.

Thes are generally good blocks, they hold up fairly well but the cranks and cams are a slight issue. I can almost gauantee when you tear it down to have atleast 1 failing rod bearing. usually towards the front, on cylinder 2.

As long as you keep this engine within itself..... no mixing and matching from other engines.. it should be a fairly straight forward rebuild.
