   Those are casting numbers.
   
   Alloy blocks have a riveted plate next to the flywheel sensor down the front of the engine bay. On cast iron blocks it is also stamped in here.
   
   The engine code is also part of the VIN number. VF31A(ABC)123456789 where ABC will be the engine code.
   
   Pics are also welcome, along with year of manufacture and ECU type.

   Well that's not particularly handy!
   
   Must have been cast iron, alloy blocks aren't worth anything as scrap.
   
   So if it was iron block, and an 8 valve head it was probably a 1.6 VTR engine.
   
   I've had a gearbox nicked once, pain in the arse. Just had to put my crunchy one back in.
