The only numbers I could find were "9E22" or "9F22" cant tell for sure if
its an E or F and "05" but not together.

Small block Fords have a four digit code followed by the base number for the system cast in where the starter motor bolts to the Bell housing, The fist letter gives the decade the following number gives the year of the decade the next letter gives the carline and the last letter the engineering department number which would normally be Engine engineering.
So for example a number such as C5ZE- 6015 would be broken down like this.
C= Decade of 1960, 5= year of decade i.e.1965,, Z = Mustang car line E = Engine engineering this is followed by the base number for the system 6015 for base engine this is followed by a suffix which gives further information if the part has been changed..
Decade of Manufacture
A=1940
B=1950
C=1960
D=1970
E=1980
F=1990
The year of decade is simple the number represents the year so D9 =1979

Casting can also have a number that breaks down to actual casting date e.g. 6c06 would break down to 6 the year of the decade 6 for the sixth year C for the letter of the month and 06 would be the day of the month.

A = Jan.
B = Feb.
C = March
D = April
E = May
F = June
G = July
H = August
J = Sept.
K = Oct.
L = Nov.
M = Dec.

9E22 could be May 22nd and a year ending with 9 could be 69,79 and so on .... Sorry if that wasnt too much help
