35-2 universal engine help

[Fierce Grace]

Fierce Grace is a 1972 E35, I am trying to figure out that year the engine is. It was re powered with a Universal, does anyone know how the serial number breaks down to find the year of the engine? Thanks.

Or this from page 8:

The UNIVERSAL engine serial number is an alphanumericnumber that can assist in determining the date of manufactureof your UNIVERSAL engine. The manufacturer's datecode is placed at the end of the engine serial number andconsists of a character followed by three numbers. Thecharacter indicates the decade (D=1990s, E=2000s), the firstnumber represents the year in the decade, and the secondand third numbers represent the month of manufacture.
