The cast numbers are there on the bellhousing side....I'm looking for information on the stamped numbers on the front of the engine block...

51096 could be a date 5-10-96. 

I haven't seen a machine shop go into that much detail for parts identification.

That makes sense  as a build date....do any engine builders go by the abbreviations DCBY
