That coincides with  the build date (June 10)  Thanks for the info Jeff that is pretty cool to know.

I'm new to the forum so go easy. I have sitting in my workshop a Mexica 289 short motor. So it appears they made both and not just 302's. Not sure how rare/ unusual this is but it's a standard bore which is a bonus. I can take more pics if nybody wishes to see and I also have an early 5 bolt HIPO 289 to compare side by side.

Welcome to the site - like most places were a forgiving group unless someone new jumps out and wants to make a bunch of claims right out of the shoot.

What's the casting date on your block.... might be for one of the early Mustangs that was made in that country

Thanks for the welcome Jeff. I took some more pics today so you can confirm the date. Both pics are the same but one is using flash.

Difficult to read for me - am I seeing 14F6?

[Phil k]

Yes, I believe that's what it say's, it certainly appears that way to me.
