New to the site. Was a chevy guy. Bought a Ford truck supposed to be a 351w. I picked up a spare block supposed to be a <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/">302 </a>but they look the same to me found some #s on the <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/">302 </a>but can't tell if they are the ID numbers. Found the #s 4E23 on the edge of the bellhousing. Also found #s EOAF D30 on the side above the starter. Don't know where the ID numbers are normally. Is there a way to ID a <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/">302 </a>or a 351w?

 

the 4E23 is the date code the E0AE-D30 is the casting #. All referance I have found suggest that it is a Clevland block but that makes no sense. Concidering that the <a href="http://www.motorhaven.com/">351c </a>was only made from 70-74. So you have me stumped.

 

look up this web site, has info/ suggestions as to identify 302 & 351's. Show's detailed pictures where to locate id #'s .....
