Default Engine ID Help

Was doing some work on the engine and found the this ID number on the passenger side almost at the front TIII3R

the engine block is 37828709 which seems to indicate a 327 build between 1962-1965..not sure what the other number is for?? or indicates?


another stamp seems to be F262 which i thought showed it was a 1962 engine build around June?

Doesn't T mean from the Tonawanda New York plant - the 1113 is the last 4 digits of the VIN and the R is the type of car it came out of (i know what S stands for, but not sure about R)

With regard to the use of I for the number 1, that was fairly common in stamping of engine pads, they are essentially interchangeable when it comes to numbering. That number (the November date) was the engine assembly date.
