Red face 1980 F150 4x4. auto. Code number

I got the code d3oe 9425 aa off the manifold, I can't find no other numbers besides the firing order, and I'm not sure what the engine is, does that code help? does any body know?

Check the VIN number on the door tag in the driver's side door jamb. Then take that VIN number and go here:

Ford Truck VIN Decoder 1973 - 1980

Being a 1980, you should be able to decode your VIN with that decoder. However, I suppose there's a chance that your VIN/sticker is different. If that's the case, go here:

Ford VIN Decoder - F150 F250 Pickup Trucks

To figure out everything else found on that sticker, like the transmission code, paint codes, etc., go here:

Vehicle Door Jamb Sticker Decoding Page

By the way, Welcome to FTE.

Your manifold engineering code tells a bit of the tale;

D3OE= 1973 (D=70 plus 3=73)
It's not foolproof, but helpful.

A d3 prefix means a 1973 family of parts, some families are installed for 10 or more years.

IOW this doesn't tell you much about anything.

Pictures would be good.

D3 means it was originally engineered for the '73 model year.
O= Torino/Fairlane
E= Engine or powertrain part

9425 is the basic part # for all manifolds and clamps.

aa is an engineering revision.

These codes only reflect what the part was designed for, not what it was installed on.
For example, the famous D0VE heads were engineered for the 1970 model year, for the Lincoln division (V), they are an engine part (E)... but were also installed on both Fords and Mercury's and well beyond the 1970 model year.

I don't know the nuances of 302/351 and can't see the interface of the intake and heads in that photo.

Yeah, I can't see, either.

If it's the engine that was installed at the factory in 1980 that's a 302, Ford
was using the M-blocks for the 351s at the time (which look a bit different
than the Windsors).

Franklin2 has a diagram that should help if somebody can get up close to the
engine:

From those pictures, it looks like a 351W.

What is the truck's VIN?

I have a '71 302 in my truck. This engine looks just like mine, so I believe its a 302.
