Engine ID Help Needed Please!!
Greetings All:
Have a 302 Ford Engine that was given to me, excellent shape. Can anyone please help me with further ID of it??
There is a metal tag bolted on engine with the following information:
302 C 72 12
1 H K274 S
Would appreciate it if you could decipher the above. Engine has a 2bbl carb on it now if that helps. Looking to change to a 4bbl manifold and carb in hopes of improving performance. Is this a good spot to start the upgrade??
THANKS in advance, look forward to your replies.

WOW! A 302 that still has the factory ID tag! That's a rarity these days!
OK, here's how it breaks down:
302-displacement/ C-This one doesn't show in my books / 72-model year / 12-Change level
1-Year of engine production (1971) / H-Month of engine production (July) / K274S-Engine code number
That's about as much as I've got from what my books say.
