Not sure what you mean. That's just a casting number that is on all 318 motors.

Well, not all of them. They changed through the years. It's correct for a '74 however, and many more years.

#2536030 is the block casting number 1967-75.

 

[cudamark]

You could also get a 2532630 in '67. poly 318.

[cudamark]

Yup, those two also on the earlier models.

There's also an oddball one in '67 2566080 LA engine.

There's probably some industrial and marine versions too. I never did write those down for some reason. The marine ones I had were all complete rusted out junk, so they got scrapped. I only had a couple industrial ones from motorhomes, and one from a pump. Never had a request for one of them, so, they ended up going over the scales.

Ya I bet there are quite a few. The Galen books don't include much if it isn't performance related. Next to no slant 6 stuff. Industrial and marine info is almost nil.
