302 Block Casting Numbers

[red54]

I need to find out exactly what engine I have based upon the casting numbers on the block. They are as follows: to the left of the distributor opening WC on top of P; driver side at rear of block 10 and under it FISE-BB; Passanger side at rear of block 2L26 and under this is a raised circle with numbers around it.
Any Info on the above will be very helpful. It's supposed to be a '94 Mustang but I'm not sure.

Red, you need to look right above the starter and give me those codes which if it is a '94, should read : F4TE-6015.

No other numbers above the starter. The ones that are there are 2L26.

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.)

Thanks Doug for the replies. I have the engine on an engine stand with the oil pan off and the bellhousing off. The numbers above the starter can only be seen with the engine flipped (Crank on top). The 2L26 is actually cast into the block not stamped.
Again thanks for the reply.
