Your block should have a number on the flat area just infront of the lh head (you facing forward in the carrier) eg the 81A.

Richard - if you remove the mounting bracket for the fuel change over valve on you might find the engine number stamped above the clutch housing vent plate.
Regards, Terry.

I found the ser no
for one of my carrier engines stamped into the machined area on top of the block where the intake manifold sits.
If you have a true "carrier" engine the valve seats are hardened inserts - they were apparently planning on using a lot of alcohol if they had to. I think your best bet for parts is MACs in Queenston NY. even the big "doublewide" big end bearings. On-line catalog and the Yankee Dollar is down a bit...
