2222 is the bore gradings as machined by the factory. This is the number near the dizzy.
 
70HM6015BA is the block casting number. YEAR designed 1970, 122 CI, LITRE 2.0, BORE 3.57. 6015 is an engine part number.
 
The stamped number above the casting number and below the exhaust port as shown in Matts photo is the official engine number that you list on the rego and helps to decode the car the engine was originally installed into.
 
This sort of engine is fitted to 1970 model TC cortinas. That'd be a good place to tell them you sourced the engine from.

My Fully Engineered Escort has an Engine No starting with SLO... which Ford Australia had no record of when I checked through them years ago.  So my Engineer passed it as it was of "unknown" origin with no further questions asked :) .... I have since learnt that it could be a Malaysian block ???

Hi fordsy
Thanks for you help is there something I can print out to take to the Iva test that shows them how we came about the date of the engine

You can print out that unique cars description of the TC cortina. Point to the 70 in the block casting number and see how you go. 
 
Or else you can list the first six characters of the engine number on here and we can tell you the car the engine was first installed in.

Hi m8
Only just found the eng no above the casting no it was painted over and not very clear had to sand it down to find it and it's still not that clear but it looks like Rm13989
