New engine - what year and make?
I got a new engine yesterday. I got it as a 'rebuilder' from a junk yard. When I talked to the guy about ordering it, I told him I needed a 351 out of a 92 F150. So I think he just went and got a motor out of a 92-96 F series truck, which is OK with me.
However, I would like to be able to identify the year and model truck this engine was out of and I am not sure if there is something on the engine I got which would help me. I don't think the guy at the yard where the engine came from has that detail so I need to be able to use something from the engine. I didn't see a VIN tag but I am not sure where to look for that, so it could be on there but I might have missed seeing it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Look for the casting number, it should be on the lower, left side of the engine. Near the back under the head.
Then use this guide to interpret the year.

I'll look for the other number when I get home.

I have no idea off hand. Might help to see it. Or maybe someone else will have a better idea.
