DIF = Dearborn Iron Foundry
By Dave Shoe - 02/03/2001 2:08:10 PM; IP 216.243.158.40
DIF=Dearborn Iron foundry
most FE iron was cast there early on

CF = Cleveland Foundry
birthplace of 351C and the place where some FE stuff started to get cast in the later 60s

MCC = Michigan Casting Center
birthplace of the 351M and the place where FE stuff sometimes got cast in the '70s. Yup, you can forget what clueless writers have said in the past, the "M" behind 351 stands for the foundry of origin.

S (sort of a backwards "Z" shape) = Sheffield Aluminum Works (or something like that)
Place where most early FE aluminum stuff was cast

SI = I'm just hypothesizing now, but I suspect the "$" on the forged steel cranks might be a foundry identifier.
