Ford GT block decode

[Gixx1300R]

Can anyone decode the numbers from this Ford GT block?

I have a friend that works for ford here in Detroit I will ask him

he said 4G7V on anything means Ford GT, however that is all he said. from my own experience I know the other numbers in the first photo are the departments that were responsible for the engineering for the part and which foundry cast the block.

the middle picture means it was cast on 10/8/2004

Is there anything in particular you were wondering about ?

I was told that is is actually a prototyple block from Ford. It was used for testing in the Ford GT. It does have some differences than the production Ford GT block

I purchased it off of the Corral forums. It can with the screw in freeze plugs and had minor difference in the oil filter housing for better oiling.

Wow something like that must have cost a lot I'm guessing. I think I'd hang on to it, it would have to be a pricey piece down the road.

That is what I was thinking that is why I asked for the number codes. I have not heard of any other GT block that came with screw in freeze plugs from the factory. Just trying to get confirmation that this is a Prototype.
