Ok so i have looked around and what i had found on my block is not really matching up with what i am finding.
What Year is of my ford 302 motor? - Hot Rod Forum : Hotrodders Bulletin Board
This was just one of a few places i had looked. Here are the only numbers i could find on my block. (unless i couldn't find it because the paint is peeling and bubbling so bad)




The only numbers that really seem to make sense here would be in the 3rd pic (2A11)
4th pic reads 'E0AE' (top) and 'D3C' (bottom) I cannot find a casting number like that of the one in the link i shared above.

What do you think, may this number be hiding under the paint? Would the fact that this was a crate motor (from what i have been told) make any difference?
