    Olds445's have a cast iron ridge/divider that runs between the china wall, and the front plate, right by the oil pressure port. a small block 403/350/260 will have no divider from one valve cover to the other in the area where the oil pressure port is. the engine displacement may be cast into the side of the block by the freeze plugs.
    .edit... the small block valve covers will (typically) only use 5 of the bosses on each cover, while the 455's have 10 bolts on each valve cover and all bosses are drilled and tapped......
