engine vin

I have just purchased a 66 F100 ford custom cab truck. It is in very good shape. I am very new to this business and need some help.
I was told the engine is from a 1967 Mercury, 390.
I need some help in deciphering the engine plate. This is how the plate on the engine looks:
390 70 12 Ford
9M K311 AO (68 352)
Does anyone know what these numbers and letters coorespond to? Are there any web links that might help?
Thnaks for your assistance in advance.

9 = year built =1969
M = month built = December
