Vehicle Identification codes question
By Mike H - 10/27/2001 8:34:51 PM; IP 216.65.176.131
I am trying to understand the casting numbers so that I know what to look for when I try to find an original engine. I bought a 1970 Mach 1(3/70) that has an incorrect engine in it. It is supposed to have a 351C-4V in it. I was under the impression that the third letter in the casting number tells what type of vehicle it went in. Is this how the following casting number breaks down? D0ZE D = 70's, 0 = 1970, Z = Mustang, E = Ford engine division. If there was a letter after the E, that would be the revision number? Is Z the only engine code that went into the Mustangs or was there other's? What about a D0AE?
