Ok numberdummy heres another one for you. I tore the bed, cab and front cap off of my 65 f100 today and was able to find a number stamped on the block. The number is E1TE6615AA. I'm hopping you can break this down for me and tell me what in the world it means. It has a valve cover from a later model 300 6 (cleared for FI intake). I believe the motor has been changed before but I am not sure. I wanna say this is an 81 motor which i am hoping that would make it a 300 and not a 240.
Thanks

 

E1TE is 1981, but that number is wrong...it should be E1TE-6015-AA

But that code doesn't mean the block was only used in 1981, all that means is the year the block was first cast.

The same block could have been used for several years.

Because Ford updates 10's of 1000's of part numbers every year, I know that the exhaust manifold on a 1983 300 I-6, was the replacement part for 1965/82 240 & 300 exhaust manifolds.

1984...the exhaust manifold is not the same as 1965/83.

If the ID number on the manifold is E3TE, taking into account the E1TE casting number, it's a 1981/83 engine.

If it's E4, E5 or later...it's not.

Heres a Link that May Help in the future, its from ( Slick 60s ) !

Keep in mind that its like the 70 galaxie that I pulled a 69 351w out of , or a 69 ford truck

that I pulled the ( Hogs Head ) and it had a hogs head with a part # of ( C7 ) the parts

will carry over to other Years of Cars///Trucks !

Ford Part Number Identification




Wally Womack

 

The OP posted the casting number...this is not a part number.

Casting numbers cannot be cross referenced to actual Ford part numbers.

6015 is a casting basic number for an engine bare block, the Ford part basic number for a bare block is 6010.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That Ford part number ID jazz is so full of errors....it's useless.

That list was originally made up over 30 years ago by two members of the Fabulous 50's Ford Club...who had ZERO Ford parts experience.

The example of C8AE-H cylinder head ID number is laughable.

C is the decade, so that's correct, 8 is the year, so that's correct.

The A could stand for Galaxie or LTD or Mercury Marquis, or Monterey.

But that does not mean that this is what the particular part was only used in. As a matter of fact, in some cases, that A code might not be used in any of those four cars.

The E refers to engineering, NOT the parts depot of Mahwah NJ...which is also BS, as E is the ASSEMBLY plant code for Mahwah, and is ONLY found in the VIN.

The parts depot or assembly plant code is not listed in ANY part number prefix.

The H has nothing to do with a revision. C8AE-H = C8AZ-6049-M .. 360/390 head used in 1968/71 F100/350's; 390/428 head used in 1968/71 cars.

Since this EXACT cylinder head replaced the 352/390 heads used in 1965, and the 352/390/410/428 heads used in 1966/67, it's possible to see this C8AE head in any of the these year vehicles.

And...Henry Ford died in 1947, so...he had nothing to do with any of these 4 digit prefixes, which FoMoCo did not begin using till the 1960's.

Because Ford updates 10's of 1000's of part numbers EVERY year, you cannot go by part number prefixes to ID what year, and/or model the part fits.

It sure seems that you don't want me to HELP nobody, You know every one can help out

I would love to have found info. like that years ago ! You can't tell me that it can't HELP !

I already explained to the OP how to ID what years the engine could be by the exhaust manifold ID number prefix.

1965/83, there were 8 updated part numbers for the 240/300 exhaust manifold, but after 1983, the manifold is different.

That fracatta Ford ID list is worthless...because it is full of errors.

Another example is that C6TE is not an F Series truck part only, because C6TE is not a part number prefix, it's an engineering number prefix.

C6TZ is the part number prefix, and ALL the truck series: B/C/F/N/NT/T/W and...Bronco's used the same one.

A C6TZ-18813-A antenna doesn't fit any truck, it fits 1966/77 Bronco only.

And more crap info:

F was not used as the 3rd digit in a part numbers prefix for a Falcon or Maverick. D was used for both. D was also used for Granada's, Fairmonts, 1983/86 midsized LTD's, Taurus from 1986.

L refers to Lincoln from 1921 thru 1951, 1969 and later Marks, not just Mark IV's.

R was used for Capri's, but only from 1971 thru 1977. R originally refered to Rotunda, which Ford used for accessories from 1961 thru 1970, then after 1978...shop tools.

1979 and later Capri's used the letter J in the part number prefix.

V was not used for Lincoln until 1961.

O refers to Fairlane, also Torino and LTD II.

Stating that parts depot codes appear in part number prefixes is totally ridiculous. No such thing was ever done.

Irregardless of what the part numbers prefix is...you cannot use it for ID'ing anything because the same part could fit myriad applications.

Ford updates part numbers, so while the prefix might be E8TZ, the part could fit something made from 1932 thru today:

B-1012 replaced by B-1012-A; replaced by COAZ-1012-A; replaced by C9AZ-1012-A; replaced by E6DZ-1012-A; replaced by E8TZ-1012-A .. Lug Nut

Fits: 1932/2009 Ford passenger cars, 1932/96 trucks...and a bunch of other stuff.

I was a Ford partsman for 35 years, and have been in the old car hobby since 1956. So I know what the hell is correct and what is not.

That list is not correct. If y'all want to go by that crap info...don't come crying to me when you get the wrong parts.

 

Wow Dummy, tell us what you really think. And by the way "irregardless" is not a word. It is simply "regardless". We got a number lesson and now you got a spelling lesson. Steve

 

Lets see...

From dictionary.com: IRREGARDLESS = adverb.

IRREGARDLESS is considerd nonstandard because of the two negative elements of ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrevelant and irrepairable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers may do so from a desire to add emphasis. IRREGARDLESS first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program in the 1930's.

And, by the way....speaking of proper English, We "got" is in-correct. We received is correct.

 

I love this forum!

 

Priceless lol

 

Ya gotta love it! That made my morning a bit better.

 

You need to see Bill type all this snizz out on a laptop at his desk....One finger peck at a time...
