Welcome to the forum. Not being a numbers man, I'm afraid I can't help you. Maybe someone else has some info.

I cannot say with absolute certainty, but pre 1970 engines with a suffix code that starts with a number is probably a marine application engine. Your engine code of 7BL leads me to believe this.
