Huw,

The block I have is also stamped F1SE and this is apparently a 1991 model year Thunderbird engine block design.

I found the casting date for my block on the underside of the starter motor mount which you should be able to see if you look at the engine from underneath. It should be in the form of number, letter and then 1 or 2 numbers cast between what look like 2 screw heads.

I am going to use the block dating description in "How to rebuild the small-block Ford" by George Reid as the evidence of what the casting numbers mean for my SVA.
