Vin number / eng no

I'm new to the site and have recently purchased a 66 f100 in Townsville, Australia. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with the details of the Vehicle / motor which is fitted as I am unsure. I managed to find the chassis no and 2 numbers on the motor (1 above the starter and 1 at the rear in the valley:
chassis- AK1JFJ18681
above starter- 01ZM-6015-AA
valley- JG37LT13692K
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought all numbers on Austrailian trucks were like this:



OK, Actually, the numbers we need to decode a VIN should be on a tag on the rear of the drivers side door.

And, Welcome to FTE!!

Welcome to FTE

Sorry, there is no way to decode any of this information. You'll have to go to a local dealer as this info is decoded from Ford truck parts catalogs (except the block casting number).

The parts catalogs and Warranty/Rating Plate codes / VIN (Vehicle ID Number) used in the US (1966/68 Canada) are not the same as used "Down Under" or any place else on the planet.

The only thing I recognize is the basic casting number for the engine block: 6015

I am going to guess that this will also match the tag on the door, if you have one. Does your truck have a V8 or and I6 under the hood? Sorry not to be able to help, but welcome aboard!

Ok, thanks I'll get onto it... I thought this might be the case. It believe it is a v8 Windsor because it looks like it may be A 60 degree v.. But am unsure of capacity at this stage. Thanks for your help

First year for the 351W = 1969, has 6 valve cover bolt holes per side.

351W: 1969/85 Passenger Cars / 1975/96 Econolines / 1981/96 F150/350's & Bronco's.

The only 60 degree OHV engines I'm aware of were 1930/37 Cadillac V12 & V16's / 1930/33 Marmon V16's.

AFAIK, every FoMoCo OHV V8 is/was 90 degrees.

How many valve cover bolt holes per side does this V8 engine have?
