I don't seem to find that number, perhaps you should post a picture of it.

Need help finding out what size, year motor I just got at the bone yard. The casting # on the back of the block is 1281447 with a 9 above it. No#s on the front of the pass side block behind power steering pump. Cant see #s on block between the exhaust ports on drivers side, is that where they are at? Please help!

What did you think you were buying and what did it come out of?
this will at least get you to the correct family of engine, assuming it's GM:

yeah, that would be a Bu 350 by this thread here:

also, if you follow the id info listed on that page i linked, you'd already know this was a SBB 350, by the number of bolts in the valve covers and the distributor location / orientation.
hey Bob, none of that guy's 350 casting numbers from the 2002 post seem to be in the list. you might want to add them.
