Engine ID 302 ?
Hello.
I know this has most likely been asked many times. I searched and could not find the answer. I just purchased a 67 F100 SWB. The previous owner did nothing but drive it for 3 years daily. He never worked on it. The truck has a good running 2 bbl 302 with some kind of transplanted factory electronic ignition. Is there a sight or can someone provide info on where to look for engine ID numbers and how to decode them once located on the engine ?
After I know that I can start gathering parts for tune up, gasket replacements etc.
The oil pan is somewhere under layers of crud and the pan gasket is leaking from every bolt. Is there a way to change this gasket without pulling the engine ? Does not look like there is enough room. Just thought that someone might have some tips.
Thanks for the help.

The casting numbers are on the block above the starter, And this should help you decode them. http://www.pacificnet.net/~fastoso/castingcode.html
As for pulling the pan im not sure on a 67 but i think you have to unbolt the motor mounts and lift the engine up to do it.
