The number you quoteis a casting number
You need to find the Engine number which is stamped on a flat bit
It will have 2 letters first which are interpreted using the Burtons Ford age chart
As for where it came from, Cortina MK2 through Escorts to Fiesta and I believe a derivative in the Ka

Thats the block part number - Pre 1971 1600 from a MK2 Cortina or Mk1 Capri
Fiesta's are 761m and front drive only - no RH engine mount pads
Ka engines are HCS and totally different
Never under estimate the ingenuity of an idiot!

Look down on the engine from the exhaust side.
Just under the exhaust for number 1 cylinder, at the front of the block where the head sits on it, is a little cast 'bump out' that
usually has a machined flat surface on top. This is about 2" long and 1/2" wide.
On this you should find 2 letters and a number (5 or 6 digits maybe?) - for example, "AB12345" - this is the engine number.
I tried to find a picture of mine, but failed...
