Possibly misred numbers/letters.
The engine assembly code will look similar to: T0601ED. In this case the first letter "T" stands for an engine factory Tonawanda, N.Y., either "F" or "V" would indicate Flint, MI., "K" is used for McKinnon Industries while "S" is used for Saginaw Service. The next two digits stand for the month of the year. In this example "06" or the sixth month, June. The "01" stands for the 1st day of the month. Sometimes (but not always) the letter "I" is substituted for the number "1".

Date code consists of a letter, 1 or 2 digits for the day, and 1 digit for the year such as C 06 7 would be March 06, 1967
