Some of the digits on my engine are hard to read but they appear to be:
8 F ? 3 ? 6 7 7
Thanks in advance

8=1968
F=Dearborn
0 1, 2, 3=body style
? would be engine code
677 xxx would be the rest of the VIN for a specific vehicle
However, Ford did not stamp the entire VIN on the back of any block, nor did they install the sideoiler in anything factory production related in 1968, except the 1968 Cougar GT-E
Where exactly are you finding these numbers stamped, and can you post a picture of it?
