Wondering how to id a motor and trans

[GrampaBud]

When I bought my 1962 Electra 225 4 door hardtop last summer it came with, what I was told was, the OE motor and trans. The motor in the car has dual AFB's on a Weiand manifold, aluminum rocker covers and valley cover. And my wife wondered why I wanted to buy it!!

I would like to verify what the other motor and trans are.

Can anyone tell me what numbers to look for and where they are? 

Thanks in advance!

You're looking for the Engine Code - stamped, not cast on the top of the block as seen in the picture.  The picture is of a 66 engine - code M

 

For 59, you'll be looking for a 2I (that's a capital letters I, not a 1) or a 4I.  2 for 2 barrel; 4 for 4 barrel.  The letter I follows the chronological letter sequence for Buick production coding - F  for 59 through M for 66 on the nailhead.
