The sheetmetal variances form stock roundbody US Falcons and Fairmonts were done via the traditional Aussie Letter codes. Engine codes remained the same as the non NSW state Australian enginesĪustralian Engine codes generally followed the American engine codes. Don Anderson reported some hp ratings for Wheels, but they weren't for all models. These excluded the unemissionised New Zealand engines.
289 ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER CODE
NB//V8 engine code numbers are included as of interest in this post These codes were replaced in 1981 by the now familiar worldwide universal 17 character VIN codes, which are completely different to these codes! These, usually 12 character Chassis codes, were also the engine numbers used from around mid-1971 onwards. Then, the next 5 numbers and a letter are the Consecutive Unit Number or Serial Number. J=1969, K=1970, L=1971, M=1972, etc)Ħth Character is the Month of the build (4 sets of 12 letters were used on a rolling 4 year cycle) 1J=F100 4x2, 11=Futura Sedan, 14=Capri Deluxe, 17=Capri GT, 30=Capri XL, 33=Falcon GT, 47=Falcon Sundowner Van, 64=Fairlane Ghia, 78=Cortina GT, etcĥth Character is the Year of the build (eg. L=Broadmeadows (Secondary assembly line/s, trucks and some cars built at Broadmeadows and offsite (Cortinas) in the Coburg/Preston area)ģrd & 4th Characters are the vehicle types or body codes, eg. NOTE: The Geelong Engine plant DID NOT have a letter code as it never assembled cars there! U=Mazda Japan (Used for Lasers, Meteors, Telstars & Capri Convertibles (Japan sourced)) How?

It's easy to do. Return from K Code Engine Identification to Ford Mustang And you are right, with a date code of 4 this engine was manufactured in 1964. So although it's not original to the car, it is the K code block. A C4 block, which shows up in a 1964 1/2 car (early production)and has a 5 bolt bellhousing.Īnd a 1965 or 1966 car, depending on production date should be a C5AE-6015-E block with 6 bolt bellhousing. The good news is that this is the right block for a high performance "K Code", but according to all the information I have, it should be in an earlier car. If this engine was a "numbers matching" engine, meaning, the original engine installed into this particular 1966 Mustang fastback, then there will be stamped vin number matching that of the car. The other alpha numeric combination, cast just in front of that block number is the block's production date. This casting number is located at the lower edge of the oil pan surface. Early high performance blocks typically had the number C4OE-6015-F, while later ones were C5AE-6015-E These are not easy to spot sometimes, depending on how well they were hit with the punches.Īs far as which block is which, there were a couple of different ones used for the K code engines. The original vehicle identification number was stamped, not cast into the engine near the oil pan, usually fairly close to where the negative battery cable is attached.
289 ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER PLUS
You can identify a Hi-Po (high performance) engine and even the original car that it came from, by checking out the casting numbers in various places on the engine block and heads plus finding the vin code stamped on the block. But this will be a bit of a complicated answer. Is that in line with being a 289 K-Code HiPo?Īlso, doesn't that tell me the engine was actually built in 1964? Thanks for any help on this.
289 ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER SERIAL NUMBER
K in the serial number which identifies the motor as a 289 HiPo.Īm I right? But the number behind the starter is C40E-6015-F. Hello, we have a 1966 2+2 fastback with a 289 engine
