Engine Block Identification

The engine is out of a 1970 f350 cab and chassis. It had the motor home built on it. The motor measures out to be a 360 which is what I figured anyways. I just didnt understand the casting numbers or lack of on the block. It has the normal 352 on the rear of the block, what looks to be the shape of a clock, and a number 2 where the year should be.

352 casting


I was just trying to figure it out for the hell of it. It then has c8ae-h heads with 0B18 date stamp and c8ae-9425-B 2v intake manifold.
Tomorrow I will pull the rest of the engine apart. Thank for anything you all can dig up.

Pretty much all FE motors have the 352 marking embossed in the block.

Found the date stamp for the block on the bottom front by the oil pan. 0B18, feb 18, 1970 I am guessing. Still cant find anything on the number "2" on the block.
