Would that be visible without removing the cylinder heads?

Thanks for the responses above.
From those, I assume the cast in number at the right corner of the block isn't helpful.
Given that this mystery motor is married with the supercharger and a 4-speed and that the car was at one time used for racing, is there any chance that it could be an R-3?
Needless to say, I appreciate your thoughts.

I have a 1963 supercharged Avanti with what a believe to be a replacement engine. It has the same stamped numbers as the block that Tim G is writing about (see photo attached to this post). Is it possible to confirm that this is a Studebaker block? The 3.6" bore on Tim G.'s block conforms to what I read for specifications of the original 289 R-2 engine.
Were the originally installed engines stamped with unique serial number? If so, where would I locate it?
If indeed mine is a replacement, would it have a unique serial number and if so where?
