For anyone who finds this thread in the future I highly recommend ready this thread we put together on the Ford Barn. It is the best collection of Ford flathead block identification information I know of. Engine block I.D. pictures - The Ford Barn

I was going to reference your thread over there, Fred, but the pictures are really small? Seems like something changed?

I think either Photobucket or Fordbarn changed. The pictures still link back to my photobucket album if you click them (at least they do for me). Please let me know if that doesn't work for you. If I have to I can go back and change all the images to full size, I just didn't want to do that initially for the bandwidth challenged members.

Sure enough they do link to your PB account. Man, the pictures are of some pretty nasty blocks!

Yes, those are the pictures I could find. It would be nice to have as cast and machined pictures from Ford assembly lines, or freshly cleaned block during rebuild. I took whatever picture would show the detail needed. I really appreciate the information added by all the other Ford Barn members, it really fills in a lot of the gaps in my knowledge.
