Not Ranked
Greg,
The number on the pad at the rear top of the engine is the sequential serial number of the car it came out of, the last digits of the VIN.
To see the year of the block you'll need to pull the starter. There is a four digit code cast in the block near top rear of the starter, for example, E7TE.
E=1980 decade
7=1987
T=truck division
E=engineering code for an engine
The E7TE was used from '87 'til '91, I think.
HTH, Ed
