Engine Block Casting Date; can you read this?

[Terry B.]

My tired old eyes won't let me know for certain if I'm reading this correctly. I think it says F292. With a mirror I think I see part of the 292, in the clay impressions I believe I see the F as well. If I interpret F292 correctly I fits nicely with my assembly Identification Stamping of F0705RE.

Terry, FYI, I have 870 block cast F282, pad F0702RE. Very close to yours. My cast date is very readable, and the pad has very nice broach marks. Never been decked - never will be. -Dan-

Terry,
I put it in Photoshop and changed the gradient on it. After doing so, you can clearly see where the top of the second "2" begins.
If you want to send me a PM with your e-mail on it, I will do it again and send you a copy to have in your file.
