Yes, the engine number is stamped on a flat boss on the driver side, usually up near the head and back above the starter but some years and models had it farther forward and/or lower on the block. It is always a stamped number, though, and should be preceded by a letter so best to remove the paint from the boss if it’s too heavily painted to read the number.

If cast with the side engine mount areas, it’s definitely 1951-1954 but the number will tell you exactly which year and model had it originally.
