That is the build date of the motor. 9th mo 9th day. Same format that would be on the top pad for a production engine.
Typically CE blocks were stamped on this machined pad near the starter.
Looks like they could not figure out what to do with this block... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Is it only on CE blocks this date is stamped by the starter?

I have a engine block with T089, but the castingdate is H 23 9, could T089 be 8th day in 9th month?

T089 is the 8th month of 1969 or August of 1969....no specific day.

I stand corrected, thanks. If it were a specific day like up top it would be T0909
