Default Aluminnum Intake ID

I have this nice aluminum intake manifold that I don't believe I'll ever use, however I'd like to accurately state what it is for/from. Any info shared would be great. Thanks guys.

That sure looks like a date code to me. Now, the problem is, is there anyone out there who knows how to interpret it?
