The numbers you are looking for are stamped (about 1/4' high) and usually a Letter followed by three Numbers and ending in another Letter (or two). The first letter is almost always F since most GM engines were made in Flint, Michigan. The following numbers are the month first followed by the day of the month. The trailing letters denote what the engine was installed in. The possible Letters for the last ones are explained in the chart below.
