Default How to find an original block

G'day all,
does anyone know how to trace an original engine block from a GT or similar? For example: a friend of mine has an XT GT with a different engine from factory currently residing in the bay. How would I go about tracing the original block for this car? I used to know, but have forgotten now.

Thanks for your help.
PDIDDY.

I had no idea this existed. I might try and track down the original block for my XB GT. Was in a boat last I heard.
