What engine is this??

I found this number VO518UKA located on the pad in front of the passenger head, at the mating surface between the head and the block. I am trying to figure out which vehicle year and size this engine is? THANKS

See where it says:Small Block Engine Suffix Code Menu
then there's a bunch of sections of letters?

Then TCX-UTT

That links to the page with UKA

I'm not sure thats your engine suffix code, just seemed likely. does it correspond to your casting number?

I understand now. I was looking for V something instead of UKA. Thanks for your help.
