He should recieve many kudos form the bird community, as this has been one huge undertaking. Most of the info contained with in this document was compiled by Alan Tast. We are currently up to 250 plus pages and will probably be much larger than that when finally assembled. The stamping is hard to see in the engine bay and sometimes it was not deep so seeing it is a big pain, but the info is there.Īll of this info will be contained in the next version of the VTCI concourse rules. No way to decode who did it but rest of info is available. The info is when the engine assembly date and code for person who did it. Above the oil filter housing and twords the diver door of the top of the dip stick is a flat somewhat smooth piece of the block that sticks out twords the inner fender well. There is one other inteesting place to find info on your engine block. I can help you find the locations for all these pieces and decode them for you. These are approximate right now as info is sketchy at best.Īs for the other pieces that have codes exhaust manifolds, engine block, and heads. What needs to be is the date codes for the various engine pieces need to be somewhere around 1 week and 1 month prior to the build date of the bird. From the data plate on your car there is a date code listed. But behind this casting number is a date code and based on what I can see it reads 9F 13 decodes to 1959 june 13. On each of the external pieces their is and engineering number in the case of the intake it is 5751037. With this being the case, a mid-late November '57 assembly date would make sense for an early 352."įords did not specifically match engines to serial numbers, but if you want to know if the engine could have been in your bird from the factory that we can tell you, or at least the external parts can tell you. Transition period during the fall of 1957 on how to date-code their castings and assemblies, as the second digit used numbers from 1-9 for January-September, 0 for October, A for November and B for December. "The "A" in the codes is for the month of November for both the assembly and casting dates. The intake 5750034 was a casting number used for 1958 352 engines. If a component has EDC, it meant it was 332 specific but could also be used on the 352 if it was designed as such. Nos.Īs for the engine, do you see any casting marks along the right rear pan rail? These will identify the block.Ī little more curious info As well as a "7" year code in the engine assy # (see above pic) There is also a "7" year casting # on the intake manifold.īTW- The engine code prefix EDC is 332 and EDG is 352. HAWKROD has the period MPC and can chase it down for you if the carb has FORD I.D. Is very well possible that your installation is correct or possibly changed (carb) at some point. on the carburetor body itself? The 1958 FORD used the CARTER in addition to the 4100 so it A 1959 352 BIRD was shown with 5751087.ĭo you see any Stamping I.D. is the correct PN sequence for this period FE. The intake manifold is cast marked 5750034, it should (I Of the front of the drivers side between the water pump and the cylinder head. If your car does not have A/C it should be easy to positively identify a FE (the right one for your car). These are from past posts on the subject of engine numbers. I have been doing some research for you as to where to look for numbers on engines and what they might mean. See what you can find, and between everyone here we should be able to reveal the truth about your motor. Similar statements exist about the heads, and intake manifold. The casting can be decoded to provide the year, month, day and shift of the production of the block. On my '58, it is on the lower front passenger side of the block. I don't know where the engine date code is on a '59 I hope someone posts who does. The components have dates of manufacture which should be within 5 to 15 days of the production date (preceding). Rather the data plate on the door has a date of manufacture. The water pump could easily have been replaced.įords do not have "matching numbers". The valve covers were Light Blue with F O R D letters the air filter white. The reference I have says the 1959 engine has: block, heads, intake, front cover, water pump and oil pan in black. You have a rare car there!! I don't know how many manual transmissions were produced but not many!
