In the back of "From Here To Obscurity," they list the car number and the engine number with inclusive dates. They caution that some minor discrepancies exist between all the lists out there but I'm starting to think the engine for this car was replaced with a 1913 motor at some point. The engine number cold stamped into the block just above the water inlet is: 346779 (according to my book, probably put together in the summer of 1913). The raised casting date just to the right of the inlet is 3 11 13.
Incidentally, there is a number on the right backside of the radiator in the
"Ford Motor Co. Detroit Mich." stamp: No. 0722640
Not sure if that's helpful.
