On the other side of the block there will be a 7 digit number cast into the block. With that you can find more info on the block.
The number you posted shows the date it was cast. H means August, 9 is the day and 4 is the year. Probably '54 but it might possibly be a '44. That 3 digit code on the engine number will clue us in.
