455 Decoding

I am trying to figure out what year this motor is. The engine code of the little "ear" on the drivers side under the head.

The code I got is 33F149662. Can anyone decode this? The F might be an E it is kinda hard to read. Can anyone tell me what year this came out of and if it was anything special.


Thanks.

I don't have a reference book that covers 1973, in 1972 the letter code for assemlby plants were:
G Framingham, MA
M Lansing, MI
R Arlington, TX
Z Fremont CA

Could the E be one of these letters instead?

The "E" stands for the Linden, NJ assembly plant.
