The block casting #'s on an FE are normally one the pass. side towards the front of the block, or pass. side center of the block very close to the head deck surface. A late 60's early 70's vintage like yours may have no casting number at all.
The casting date is on the drivers' side beneath where the oil filter housing bolts on the block and is viewed from the bottom in the format : 9A20......which would be Jan 20, 1969. (79, 89 or 99 would be appplicable to an engine having later casting numbers)
Your head casting numbers are between the center two exhaust ports on the heads.
Is this a 2V engine?
There may be a stamp on the block viewed from the back, below the head deck on the drivers' side.
