Ome is on the drivers side near the firewall where the transmission/bell housing mates to the block
This will be a raised cast number
The other is a stamped number which is located on the front drivers side on a pad just below the front of the cylinder head
It may be coverd over with paint or normal grease, dirt ect: so you mat need to wire brush it to get a good reading
Heres a pic of the stamped number
You can also part of the water pump and the fuel line to the carb so it may help with finding the stamped number
