302 ID help...

just purchased a 302 mustang roller motor to put in my truck. issue is that the casting numbers are pretty much crap. crap as in they were partially filled in when the block was cast making them impossible for me to read. could someone help on what to do? here's a pic of the numbers. the number along the bottom edge is 5A10. i went at the numbers with a pick and nothing would come out of them and went down to the bare metal. i shot it with blue paint and then the gray to see which would show more detail and the gray was the best option

First letter F means it's a '90 something roller block and that is all you really need to know because they're all the same from there up.
