The number you said that was on the engine mount should be the serial #. When I ran the number it came back as a Mariner 2.4 liter. The year didn't come up though. If I find it I'll repost it for you.

Hope this is a help.

Is this where you found the #'s?...The year should be on this sticker as shown.
