Casting (Engineering) Numbers

OK, from my experience with non automotive casting houses, no one keeps track of mold revisions. They do add -# to distinguish which mold was used to cast a part. Also, it's my understanding that what most of us call casting numbers are actually engineering numbers. Below are some pictures of three 340 blocks. All are cast between October 1970 to June 1971. Notice there's a -2, -6 and -8.
