RE: weird date codes on FE block
By Royce P - 08/29/2005 7:25:02 AM; IP 207.69.137.36
1M18 is either
1961 / December / 18 or
1971 / December / 18
If the block has two motor mount holes it is a 1961 unit.

If the block has four motor mount holes it is a 1971 unit.

The other mark (E1) is indicating which foundry line cast the block. The date codes were there to help in case a defect surfaced during machineing operations created a need to find other blocks with similar defects.
