This is the site I send people to for decoding Ford's casting informaton:

Classic Mustang Part Number Decoding Guide



This is what the parts book says about the 6015:
6015 is a casting number and generally cannot be cross referenced to a service number. It will be used as a means of identification only when casting number is unique to only one 6010 assy.
IOW a 6015 is just the block's casting ID - the block only, not an assembly.

The blocks are referenced as 6010s in the book, and all Ford engine blocks are referenced as 6010 assemblies (or 6015 castings) , not just your 351W.

The AA-14 (sounds kinda long to me, but the 351W was introduced in 1969 and is apparently still being made so it's not real surprising) is just the engineering revision of that specific F0AZ-6015 casting and is generally not exceedingly useful and meaningful information.

I haven't come across something from a credible source I can easily copy-n-paste concerning the revisions and how they were incremented, but the first revision was -A and subsequent revisions resulted in different revision identifiers.

For example:

-A
-AA
-AB
-B
etc.


The 1980/89 book doesn't list much about the 1990s but this book was printed in 1994 and therefore has a little bit.

Specifically, for your 6010 block, it says the Service Part Number (which is not the same as a casting number or an Engineering ID number) is E3AZ-6010-B for those built from 7/11/83.

However, that block has been obsoleted and was replaced with E9AZ-6010-A which was later (in 6/90) replaced with F1TZ-6010-B.

I'd have to look in later books (which I don't have) to see what other supersessions might apply.

This book is the Light Truck parts catalog and doesn't include information pertaining to passenger vehicles; hence, your F0AE block (from a sedan, would be T if it were to a truck) isn't listed here.

Chris - I'd rep you if I could. That was a lot of info and took a great deal of time. Well done.

And, I didn't realize the catalog has some info on the 90 trucks. Learn something every day.

Yeah, it did take a while, thanks for recognizing it.

It's not the first time I've answered this 6010-6015 stuff, either, I hope I've got it right - Bill or Ralph will correct me if I'm wrong....

Been neglecting my truck up until today for awhile up until today. Been a matter of parts really. Been working in the shop on my normal projects. Sat down with my dad and we devised a plan. Be aggressive and get er done! Got some body work done today, welded up a patch on the passenger side wheel well lip and finished it up in duraglas. Also drilled a bunch of holes in the back of the cab and used the slap hammer to pull it out. Finished that up in plastic too.

Anticipating for my tranny swap I just ordered a new flywheel, and clutch. Also got a body bushing set because I've been putting off that for awhile.

Now I have to drive up to Hazelton, PA (2 hour drive) to the u-pull-it yard to get the rest of the parts I need. Pulling the bell housing off a truck should be fun!

I have a question. On the bricknose year trucks (maybe the gen. after?) there was the rear interior trim pieces with speaker inlays, will those work inside mine?

Anyway, here are a couple things I've been working on:
Fixing leaky fittings on the fluid tank on the hydraulic press I made: (Old pic)




Ported sub box.


And a hammer tree to free up some space in my tool box.

Sounds like you have a plan, and are making progress. That's a pretty wild press - what do you think the capacity is?

As for the trim with speaker inlays, I've not seen those so don't know.

And, silly boy, hammers don't grow on trees! Or, do they - your tree sure seems to have a lot of hammers.

Capacity is a mere 6 tons. That is my "little one." I have a 70 ton in the works. Material has been laying in the corner for a few months. Been putting off drilling 2" holes through 1 1/2" steel for a long time haha. Each hole takes about 30-45 mins

And it seems my hammers must! Every couple months or so, a new hammer seems to sprout somewhere in the garage!

EDIT: Hydraulic ram capacity is 6 Tons, not press itself

I'd be scared of a 70 ton press. I can bend lots of things with my 20 ton one. Haven't run across a need for more. What would you use it for?

Not only pressing stuff, I'll be making a shear attachment, press brake, and a bunch of other things. While I have a 70 ton press, I'll be able to regulate how much pressure I'm putting out. The stuff I make and work on, there's no telling what's going to be under that ram haha
