As mentioned by thatdarncat, Ford factory production I.D. metal tags can be sometimes found under the bolt securing the ignition coil to the intake manifold. This would/could suggest an engine that is a factory "virgin"....never been disassembled/repaired/rebuilt. These tags are often covered with a thick layer of grease and not visible.
The cubic inch size is in the top left corner. Model Year is top center. Year of engine production is in the lower left corner, "A"=January, "D"=April and "E"=May.
Change level is upper right. Engine code number is lower right.
As they say on TV, "Your results may be differ."
