Mil1ion, is there some sort of chart?

I rememeber when I worked for Buick back in the 70's, the 6th digit was the year and the 5th was the engine code, I think? It's been a long time.

Yes it's at the front.... in the shop manuals.

Or also on the CDRom version.

It's pretty easy to get close on Ford vehicles by looking at casting numbers.

I can usually get within 6 weeks on an assembly/build date just by reading the engine /Transmission/rear end casting numbers.

Ford always had about a 2 month lead time between part cast and vehicle assembly.
