Can you decode this engine block number JY812095

I purchased a used engine and was told it came out of a 1988 ford mustang.

None of the parts I ordered fit and the parts house believe the engine came out of a mercury marquis?

This number is stamped on the top of the block just behind the rear manifold. There is no number by the starter or anywhere else on the block.

Can you tell me anything about the engine by the number JY812095?
