I am listing this all for one price but if you want to buy just one motor make an offer. The last one the 239 came out of the 1954 Ford Crestline Victoria. It has been in my garage for about 12 years or more.The other 292 would need rebuilt. I was going to put it in a 1954 Ford Chrestline victoria, but we moved and I brought it with us. All you should have to do is clean it up and put on the heads and a few other parts back on it. Just that motor alone would cost some one about $1500 to rebuild or more. We pulled them off several years ago why I do not know. The one 292 when we pulled it out of the truck it was in had less then 10'000 miles on it after a rebuild. We have most of the parts for these three motors.
292 ford engine casting numbers location code#
Head casting number is under the cylinder head.ĭate code location is under the valve cover.We have three Ford Y blocks we want to sell. In some cases, they are not there at all! Removal of the starter is necessary to see the number The casting number is located where the starter bolts up to the bell housing.


Pictures courtesy of Cruce Motor Rebuilding Cylinder heads cast with a "5" as the second digit were most likely installed in a 1966 model. Casting numbers are usually the same or nearly the same as the part number. Special heads are required with emission controls from 1965-1966 for the emission system to operate properly.īeginning in 1967, all heads have provisions for emission control systems. For example, the code may be cast as C6ZZ-A in 1966 and C8ZZ-A in 1968 even though they are the same cylinder head. This tag is easily lost or replaced with a fake tag, so don't rely solely on the tag for identification.Ĭasting numbers for cylinder heads may change from year to year. On the tag is the displacement, assembly plant, model year, change level, engine code (useful in identifying high performance engines) and date of production. This tag is used on all late 1964-1970 models and located under the coil attaching bolt. Engines are identified by a tag attached to the engine. Casting numbers can be helpful, but some blocks used several different casting numbers, and in some cases, one casting is not interchangeable with the other. There is no code stamped on the block itself that can be used to identify the cubic inch displacement of the block. In 1970 Cleveland came out with its newly designed 351.Ĭ8AE-6015-B is a 302 block from the Windsor plant that was used in 1968 on a 289.Ĭ8OE-6015-A is a 302 block from Cleveland from a 1967 289 or a 1968 or later 302 (check date code). Windsor dropped 289 production and took up the 351. In 1969 Cleveland continued with 302 production. At the very end of the model year some additional 289 blocks must have been discovered as the older C6AE-6015-C blocks appeared again. The number was C8AE-6015-B with 302 marking in the lifter valley. They did however, design and produce a 302 block that was used on 289s after the stock of 289 blocks was depleted. It appears Windsor also tooled up for 302s but the plug was pulled before they got to make any. In 1968 Cleveland only made 302s, while Windsor continued with the 289s. The Windsor plant had an abundance of 289 blocks for 1967. Hence, a late model 289 coming from the Cleveland plant might have a 302 block with 289 innards. Note these 302 casting numbers returned to the intermediate size Ford or Fairlane lineage. This block wasn't intended to see action until 1968. Near the end of the 1967 production run, Cleveland ran out of 289 blocks and substituted their new 302 block, C8-OE-6015-A and marked with 302 in the lifter valleys. These two blocks were interchangeable, but there were probably some minor differences. In 1967 both Cleveland and Windsor produced 289s using earlier year casting numbers but with updated date codes. The casting numbers for these were (C6AE-6015-C with a "289" and "WF" in the lifter valley. In mid-year 1966 the Windsor plant also began producing 289s.

In 1965, this number was changed to C5AE-6015-E for the 289 2V, 4V and Hi-Po (note the change to full size Ford designation and 6 bolt bell housings). The 1964 289 casting number for all 289s was C4OE-6015-C (later an F suffix). The 221, 260, 289 were originally designed for the Fairlane and produced only in the Cleveland engine plant from 1962-1965.
