Geeks On Cars: How to Identify Small Block Fords

That is a casting number for a 351c block, casting date is October 22nd 1971. The same casting number was used for the 4 bolt and 2 bolt main blocks.

Is there a serial number on the build tag or on the engine block? That can sometimes narrow down the range of years.

Also, is it flathead? Overhead valve? number of cylinders?
Was there another set of 4 digits ahead of the "LAE"? Is there a casting number on the intake manifold?
Something like D78A-XXXXXX-letter? This would be a 1970's era production

C0XX- would be 1960's production. Some tractors from the early 60's carry a "C" as the first digit of the serial number on the production plate, and after about 1966, they all do.

B8A--########-letterornumber? postwar production through 1958.

You should have small 4 cylinder Ford Industrial Kent engine and that was dificult to line up some parts for it in the US and Canada- There are performance parts available for it. It is a metric specified engine with "English" specified bolts. 3.45 inch bore but more often found metric 87.6 mm

To be sure you do, the manifold will have the D78S-XXXXX style casting number. This is a popular racing engie, so stock parts are difficult to find in some areas. And to complicate matters there were 2 different versions as well, 2mm difference in cylinder bore.

However the LEA block narrows it to 1970 through 1973. production.

If yours definitely has the fifties or early sixties look to it, that LAE may actually be an EAE,which would make it 3 7/16 inch bore 4 cylinder 134 CID which was used in the NAA, 501, 541,600, 601, 700, 701, 2000 and NAB.

Hello, according to my manual the 3789404 is the casting number for the 292 cubic inch inline-6 cylinder block produced from 1963-1976

I do not show a 3764478 number...3764476 is a 235 CID inline-6 from years 1958-1962
These are Chevrolet castings.

I hope this helps.

Find the engine identification tag. Attached at the factory, this tag is normally found on the engine block around the coil bolts. The top line of the tag identifies engine size and model year.

Search the block for the engine block casting number. The numbers are raised, not stamped into the block and consist of seven numeric digits. The digits can be located on either side of the block. The seven-digit number may be followed with a dash and further numbers. These are change codes and are not normally necessary to identify the engine.

EX.:

Locate the casting date is located on the block. It is in standard date coding, 2.25.93, for example and may be located on either side of the block, but is commonly located on the driver's side of the block, above the freeze plugs. The example 2.25.93 decodes as February 25, 1993. The casting date may be near the casting clock, which designates the hour the block was cast. Magnum engines were manufactured from 1993 to 2002, so verifying the date code helps identify the engine.

Here are some tips:
1. Locate the casting numbers on the block. This can be either behind the distributor on the engine, or near the starter. If you have to, use the wire brush and degreaser to clean the engine and see the number easier.
2. Note the first letter in the casting number. It's a letter to designate the year of manufacture of the part.

B - 1950s
C - 1960s
D - 1970s
E - 1980s
3. Note the second number in the casting number. This is for the last digit in the year. For example, a casting number starting with B8 was manufactured in 1958.
4. Note the third letter in the casting number. This is the model design of the vehicle.

A - Generic full-size ford
C - 1966 to 1975 Remanufactured part
D - Ford Falcon
E - Ford truck
F - Foreign market or Trans Am racing engine
G - '61 to '67 Comet or '68 to '76 Montego
H - '66 to '82 heavy truck or Holman Moody high performance parts
J - Industrial Ford model
L - Lincoln
M - Mercury
O - '67 to '76 Ford Torino and all Ford Fairlane
S - Ford Thunderbird
T - Truck
U - Econoline van
V - Lincoln
W - Mercury Cougar
Y - '62 to '72 Meteor (Canada model) and '75 to '81 Bobcat
Z - Mustang
6 - Pantera
5. Note the fourth letter in the casting number. If you're looking at a complete engine, it should be an "E."
6. Note the next four digits in the casting number, generally after a hyphen or space. This is the generic part number for the engine. This number should be between 6000 and 6898 for an engine base assembly.
7. Note the last letter in the number. This is the engineering version of the part, or the design change.

Good luck.

the block casting when you are looking at the rear of the engine would be where the bellhousing bolts to the engine on the top-left side of the engine, the head casting should be on the left side head when looking from the back torwards the middle-bottom,and the crank cast should be behind the flywheel on the engine
