Check the first letters of the engine number and look it up on Burton Powers engine tables.

I checked mine on their table and it matched the data from Ford.

Hmmmmm. Confusing H looks like a 1987 or 1968 build, neither of which tally with any zetec manufacture dates. Might need to talk to the place you bought it to see if they have stamped a new number on it. Where was the number stamped? Was it on the block on the starter motor side right at the rear of the engine where it meets the bellhousing?

New engines from Ford do not have an engine number. Dealers are supposed to stamp the number from the OLD engine during an engine change.

Go down the scrappy and find a number from a pre 95 car. Job sorted.
