Look closely for numbers

By Travis Miller - 10/28/2003 10:18:11 AM; IP 64.12.96.238

There are some stampings on FE blocks.

They are located on the pads that stick out near the front and rear of the left side of the block. These numbers correspond with the build date on the data plate of the car the engine came from. They have something to do with the sequence of engines installed in a certain car on that build date in that particular assembly plant.

I discovered them on the 1966 390 2V engine I rebuilt for one of my customers. He said his Galaxie 500 had the original engine. These stamped numbers verified that fact.

This thread, so far...
