i went and bouhght a engine today it came out of a uhaul.bigger than a 350. the heads are 10 bolt exaust manifolds.7F28 is the # in pass head 3c23 is # in drivers.then there is a tag on the motor that reads C4TZH 330
bore o.s. 60
main 10
rod 10
no.537582
they said it was a 360 but its frooze so i can't measure at this time.

 

If I'am not mistaken that what Wes used to build the poor mans 427 was the HD 330 ?

I'am sure one of the Book guys will chime in and decode that for ya !!

It's a 330 FT engine.

With all that info on the tag, that points to just one thing, a Ford authorized rebuilt engine.

Now the question is....is it a 330 MD, or is it a 330 HD?

Rebuilders installed heads from one year on blocks from another year, so those date codes you posted aren't any help.

I have the Ford rebuilders parts catalog dated 1/1999, and I know from experience that all Ford rebuilt parts have a suffix that ends in an X.

So...the number on the tag should be: C4TZ-HX.

But what does this number refer to, a long block or a short block?

A long block will be C4TZ-6012-HX, a short block will be C4TZ-6009-HX.

The problem I'm having is, my authorized rebuilders parts catalog doesn't list a C4TZ-HX.

All the catalog says is, C4TZ-HX was obsoleted on 1/15/1997.

So I cannot tell you which 330 rebuilt engine you have, unless...

See if you can find a ID number on the heads, the 330 MD used different heads than the 330 HD...but of course, that's still no guarantee that that's what size the engine will be.

I can cross the head ID numbers to part numbers if they are prior to 1972, after that, I'm SOL.

EDIT: I'm gonna call someone, brb.

RE-EDIT: Crap...he doesn't have an earlier catalog (prior to 1997).

I'll try someone else...brb.

The latest: A parts manager pal of mine is gonna call the authorized rebuilder (Tomadur Engine) to see what size the C4TZ-HX engine was.

 

will this thing work in my 68 f350 till i rebuild my 360,bellhosings the same?all that will those heads on the 330 work on my 360? i bought it for $125.00 with the trans still hooked to it.is it better for my 68 than the 360? i'll try to find more #'s those are the only #'s on the heads i see at this time unless there under the rockers.and the block has the 352 on it like the fe's with a full size oil pan.

 

The heads will not work...FT's used different heads, and the head gaskets are also different than FE's.

AHA!!...352 on the block?

That's a 330 MD engine used 1964/72. The 1964/67's used a 352 crank, the 1968/72's used a 360 crank.

The 330 HD and the 361/391's are a different casting.

 

yea the 352 is in bigger letters than a fe and they read upside right.and above that it has 66. the heads are c7t2-c.what do i do with this thing,it seems the rocker assy is the same.it has a thing in the distributer to eliminate the points.is it better than the 360? and now looking at my 56 F600 is seems like the engine and trans will line right up in that.is the 330 md better than the 292.origanally bought for my 68 f350.
