Thread: help identifing fe engine

Tweet

Hello all
I am new to Ford Engines could some one help ?

I am about to buy a 1970 Ford LTD 2Dr.
And concerned about what engine it is.
the car is all there but a few parts are missing from motor
Exh Header. I know the best way is to pull the motor. which i
will do , (After seeing if it will fire and see what kind of noise it makes)

I wanted to know what the 42 meant over 352

And what C6aea i have learned C6= YR 66 ,

but for 390, 410, or 428(wishfull thinking). where are the date codes located
as the engine installed . I see down on a tab by the oil pan . left side or right,
front or back,

I just learned that C6ae-a stamp on the head matches id for Short Rods.

I am going to take a closer look tomorrow at the Engine
before i buy it can i see the date codes while engine is still in car
from underneath.

This will be the first Ford I owned.
I liked the 1970's ford LTD
