I just went out and looked at my truck and there is no way to see those casting #'s without pulling the starter. I feel most comfortable with those #'s, and I'm pretty sure they are there, I know they are on the 80's block. The FISE-BB is no doubt F1SE- , which decodes to 91 Thunderbird Engine group, however it should read -6015 after it, to denote block part#. That's why I like the #'s above the starter, I'm positive I'm getting block codes. The 2L26 is a date code, if it is cast in, then it denotes when the block was cast. If it is stamped, it denotes assembly date. 2L26 decodes to Dec. 26, 1992. Some of those other casting #'s and letters are a mystery to us mere mortals, and I'm not sure even Edsel Ford knows what they mean. This should give you a starting point, and if you ever pull the starter and find those other #'s and they are different than F4ZE-6015, and need them de-coded, let me know. (I gave you the truck code by accident in the earlier post, T=Truck, Z=Mustang.)
