Trying to Identify the LS engine in my 56 Bel Air....6.0 Liter .... 4L60E Trans. Date Code: B286 (2006)?
Engine Mounts towards the front of the engine: yes
Cam Sensor on Rear of engine: yes
Not sure if it is Iron or Aluminum.
Is there anything else i should look for? judging from the PS. pump and alternator bracket it looks like it came out of a truck or SUV maybe. Engine is installed in car.

Thanks,
Keith R

Not sure if it is Iron or Aluminum.

You could take a magnet and touch the block. A magnet will not stick to aluminum. It will stick to cast iron.
