So is the engine family number actually on the core itself? Yes,right

Yes, right. Locate the engine number on the driver's side of the block. The letter prefix determines the year or series, and the first digit of the number (2XX,XXX, 4XX,XXX, etc.) tells you which engine. I know this is spelled out in much detail elsewhere on this site. Try a search on motor number.
