Default Side Oiler Block Manufacturing Dates

I have a 1971 side oiler "High Nickel" block. Ford continued to enhance and manufacture these blocks through 1971 as "Replacement"/or "Service" Blocks. I bought this block 4 years ago, still in the origional Ford box/pallet. Jack Tarner, (Tulsa OK.) just built me a standard bore, stroked unit including ported Edelbrock aluminum heads, 1968 "Tunnel Port" (2 four barrel) entake. The motor is now in a 1965 "Cyclone". If it doesn't live up to Mercury standards, I'll put it in my cobra. I had David Kee build a new top-loader and added a Gear Vendors overdrive so I can enjoy the 4:11's in town and relax with 3:25's on the highway. Please find picture attached.
