82,
On the read ledge of the block, right above/right from where you found the casting number should be a date code. Usually they are four digits, like 1084 (October 1984). Some older castings use the clock dial method, which is a round indicator with a pointer aimed at the appropriate numbers for month and year.

Car: 87 IROC L98
Engine: 588 Alcohol BBC
Transmission: Powerglide
Axle/Gears: Ford 9"/31 spline spool/4.86
Casting number 14010203 is 80-85 305 however I can't find T9K in any block codes for those years.
CF1219501 should be the end of the vehicles serial number but there's one to many numbers on the end. The C = 1982
