Default 396 engine ID question

So this might be an amateur question but I’m goinf to ask it anyway. Been looking around and seeing that the letter “F” in the numbers with the partial vin on the block means it was put into a Fremont made car. Correct? But when I look on ChevelleStuff.net it shows the letter “Z” as being the letter code used for being in a Fremont built car. Just wondering where the mix up is.

Thanks.

No, didn't even know it was for sale. Just trying to help you identify what it came out of.
