TR6 TR-6 Engine Markings

Last week I brought home a 1974 1/2 TR-6 engine to someday take the place of the 2.0 liter GT-6 engine currently in my TR-6 (Thanks for the tip Paul J.)

The engine has some paint markings on the side. Does anyone know what (if anything!) they mean? The engine still had it's original 1973/1974 spark plug wires on it, so I don't think it's ever been torn apart.

I've torn dowm my TR6 2 times and never changed the green wires. They just keep on conducting with out shorting. Great wires and they match, kinda, the hoses.

I don't know what the painted numbers mean, but even if the motor has been opened up it was probably improved so don't worry about it until you check things out with your own eyes.
