Where exactly is the number stamped on the block and is there anything that confirms it is indeed a TA block? Driving modern convenience in classic beauty

So, you'd have to confirm the partial VIN# on the block you have was built during T/A & AAR production. Is the info on the front face of the block below driver's side head different 6bbl vs. 4bbl?
