| FE color codes |
| By Joe Terrizzi - 10/28/2001 7:39:51 AM; IP 205.188.196.42 |
I have read many forum questions pertaining to the ID of different FE motors. Many of which deal with the ID of casted numbers in the blocks. I have also read articles writen on concours resto of original blocks used in the mustangs era 67-70. In these articles several times they claim no specific casting numbers at all on the blocks. They do note that various blocks without these casting codes have different color ID near or behind the starters. I seldom ever see any reference to the color codes used on FE engines in the late 60s. It does make some sence that this was in use then. Many blocks different from each other haveing the same casting must have got confusing then. Seeing that these engines where mix & match reguarding molds / different engines useing the same casting. I would presume that the color codes must have been used in the late 60s. This would put any block in a generalized catagory. These 5 or 6 catagorys depending on application of engine and intended use ford could have chosen the best engine code to be used. I have seen colors such as (red)(blue)(yellow) on most 428 of the era with no casting ,originals unrestored with no casting what so ever. What are the color codes ford used on the FE engines ? Are the color codes used for the 427 blocks the same and do there application and ID apply to all the FE engines?
Thank Joe |
