Default Can Someone Interpret this Metal Tag on a 1966 Mustang?

Can someone decipher this metal tag bolted to the intake manifold on a 1966 Mustang (resto project)?
The ‘F’ stands for Dearborn, Michigan where the car was made. ‘66’ stands for the year 1966. 289 stands for the engine size. Not sure what the ‘E’ is for but could stand for the month of the year…May. Not sure what 236 T and 12 signify. Any help would be appreciated.

You have the 289 and 66 correct.

The E is the plant that manufactured the engine, in this case it was Ensite, Ontario Canada.

The F is the date code, that engine was made in June.

The 236 T is an internal plant code for a C code 289 with a C4 automatic.

The 12 is another internal plant code for the change level of that motor.

Jay, Thanks for that info. Much appreciated. Ensite must be very close to Windsor, Ontario.

and thanks John. I am sure I'll need some wheel and tire info as this project moves along further.
