It was located on the top back edge of the block. The point where the transmission bolts to the block. There is a flat section there with these letters & numbers.

Don't know. Not a casting date or build date though. Casting date is a code raised on the block up beside the oil pressure sending unit threaded hole behind the intake manifold "China wall" ... and the build date is a code stamped beside the timing chain cavity. This "code" ... if it is a code ... fits neither.
