1963 Econline Van Vin
Hello:
I just purchased a 1963 Econoloine van and need to decode the VIN, rear end and engine Casting Number:
The VIN is 90E14489AA02
The engine number is C3DE-6016-E
The rear end has the following number: C0BW4025F2
Thanks!
Axel

D = Falcon Line
E = Engineering (instead of a "Service" part)
6016 = the basic part number
E = Design Change Number
So the block is a 1963 casting meant for the Falcon line that was installed at the factory.
Looks like it is probably the original engine.

You will also need all of the linkage and brackets (and a steering column would be nice too).
Best to find a 65-67 auto parts van.
I am going to redo a '62. I bought a 67 SuperDuty with a 240 and C-4 for $500. Along with the engine/tranny, I get the bonus of the bigger rear end pumpkin and brakes.

Thanks for the help. I will go looking for one. I am building a "Mystery Machine" from Scooby Doo out of the van and want it to be able to drive around comfortably.
Three more quick questions...
1 - How can I tell which engine I have?
2 - Can I use an underfloor bower brake kit to make the van power brakes?
3 - How can I tell which rear-end I have?
Thank you VERY much for all the help!

2. PB was an option in 1967, but good luck finding a unit.
3. The axle ratio will also be on the door tag. The ratio is also listed on the pumpkin tag. Does your axle still have the tag? (Once again, assuming that it hasn't been changed out).

Thanks again! They make an under the floor power brake kit that should work with little or no modifications. I can post a link if you would like to look at it. I am totally new to the econolines so I could be wrong.
I will post my door tag later and see if that helps.
Thanks!

VIN is 90E14489AA02
this is not a vin, it is the second line from the door tag.
if you will send the vin i will get it all at once.
