Your avatar pic is even older than that! 
The most common error on FTE: When a date is abbreviated, the apostrophe goes before the year, not after.
Example: '94 .. 94' means 94 feet!

The 96 5.8 that I am working on doesn't have a complete ID number on the block. Also where the date code would be is blank.
Based on what I gathered these numbers are roller 351W blocks.
F4TE-6015-AA-12 for 93/94
F5TE-6015-AA-12 for 95
F6TE-6015-AA-12 for 96
This block is missing the 2nd and 3rd characters. Here is its number. What the heck does this mean? Is it a replacement motor or the last production run or something?
