RE: Vehicle Identification codes question By Travis Miller - 10/28/2001 11:14:15 PM; IP 205.188.199.163 The third digit in casting numbers as well as part numbers indicates the car line for which the part was originally designed. Do not expect every part used on a Mustang to have a Z for the third digit. If it has an A it was originally designed for a full sized Ford, even if it was put on a Mustang. The following is a list of letters and car lines that can be seen in the third digit position: A = Full size Ford G = Comet J = Industrial and marine K = Edsel O = Fairlane S = Thunderbird T = Truck W = Cougar Z = Mustang D0AE would be an engine part first used in a 1970 full sized Ford. However it could also have been used in any other Ford product. This info comes from Steve Christ's book How To Rebuild Your Big-Block Ford. It gives the best explaination of Ford part and casting numbers I have ever seen.
