The table here

suggests that your number identifies a 1947 series 70 engine (320 cu in).
The valve cover length should be about 33-3/4". 1947 and earlier engines should have a mounting plate at the front of the block. If the plate is missing, the engine should NOT have mounting holes on the sides of the block just forward of the distributor. One of the 1948-up type mounting brackets is visible in the right hand picture on the same page, so you can see where to look for the holes that would indicate a later engine.
