None of that makes it a service block
By Hawkrod - 04/25/2006 10:28:55 PM; IP 207.200.116.138
Look at that date code again, that "line" is a 1 so it would read 1F23 and that would be 1971 June 23 which would likely make it a 1972 engine. The two dots are something that Ford started doing in late 69 and did through part of 72 or so to make it appear different from 59, 60 etc... the two dots simply denoted the second time that date code sequence was used on that style casting. Most 68 - early 72 blocks do not have casting numbers and most 71 and newer blocks have the ribs so it really sounds like you just have a very late 71 or very early 72 truck engine. Hawkrod
