| RE: another casting number ? |

The engine is a 390-2V made in late 1968 for a 1969 model car built at the atlanta assembly plant. The VIN of that car was 9A^104461. 311S is the assembled engine code including all accessories, it is a 390-2V. The block has a casting date next to the oil filter mount. I believe the engine code is Y in a full size Galaxie or Mercury sedan or wagon.
Every model year begins in July and ends at the end of the following June. Go to your Ford dealer right now and they are trying to dump the leftover 2004 models. In a couple months the 2005 models will be available, just like when that engine was made.
It is a run of the mill 390, C8AE-H casting was used on all 390's in 1968 - 71.
