I also heard it's above the starter motor on the right side of the motor. No luck. The state won't accept my application without this number. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance....

You'll have to use the engine date code - VIN stamping was not required until the 1968 model year, and your engine was produced the previous year. Ford did partially stamp some engines prior to that, but it sounds like it was pretty inconsistent - so no guarantee yours would have been stamped. Check for stamping on a pad on the block just under the back of the driver's side cylinder head - just in case.
