- Yes, There is a casting number on the block just above the starter. Remove the starter and it can be easily seen. Then do a google search for Ford engine numbers and you will know. Duke --Original Me

- Sometimes you can use clay forced into an area to make a readable impressiom. I'm not sure if it will work here. You might also try a paper impression. Again, if possible, try slipping a piece of pap

- The only way to correctly ID the block is by the part number stamped onto the block near the starter. A 2nd way is to look for the engine build date stamp near the distributor and left head. It will

- I would seriously question their motives if they will not let you verify the It is only one nut and two bolt for goodness sake. I can R&R my starter in five minutes while on my back. On a lift I bet

- I second that and I think it is worth every penny I paid. This book is about 1 1/2" thick and it is jam packed with pictures that cover all aspects of the engine. There is more information in this b
