On the back by the bellhousing but usually doesnt survive that long. Is a mercruiser engine or a custom. A merc motor will have it on it or at least you can look it up. Other than that you will have to pull the casting number and look it up.

Gen 4 502's have a mechanical fuel pump on the block. Gen 4 502's also have a chevy bowtie on one side of the block....hense, a Bowtie block! Gen 5 and 6 blocks need to run electric fuel pump or off the sea pump.

Gen 5 454/7.4 also do not have the casting for block mounted fuel pump. At least my 7.4 doesn't.
