On the back, on the side opposite where the 10054727 is, does it have a group of numbers and letters? On the blocks in the 60's and 70's the casting date is there.

Decoding the Assembling Plant

The single first letter will identify the assembly plant where the engine was manufactured, such as "K" for St. Catherines, Ontario, or "V" for Flint, Michigan. Breaking it DownEngine identification code K0830C denotes the engine was built at St. Catherines on Aug. 30 with the "C" standing for the 1957 Corvette with a three-speed manual transmission.

If you can't find the suffix, if the other smaller stamped #'s are there on the pad, counting backwards from the end the 8'th digit indicates model year..
