These are generally by the transmission mounting surface of the block. The date code will usually be on the opposite side from the casting number, but not always. It is common for just the last three numbers to be referred to when dealing with casting numbers, i.e. an "880" block would be c/n 10243880. Usually the last three numbers aren't repeated but there are cases like the SBC head c/n "462" that- for some unknown reason- was reused 5 times! Fortunately this is rare.
