Hi Riverhorse. You're right - it's not the casting number. It's the application or ID number. I misspoke - it's stamped, not cast. But the block does have side mounts, so it's probably a 1958 or 1959. Denny probably has it right - the "F" was probably for full-sized Chevy. That all seems to fit.
Thanks for all the help and input.Tim -
