Hello i am trying too identify my motor. the casting numbers are> C 5106-E09C thay are located just above the starter hope someone can help. ty

 

The "C" tells you the DECADE of build while the "5"tells you the year of the decade. Thus the "C 5" portion of the casting would tell me that the blockwas cast in1965. From 1965 on, Ford engines were equipped with a stamped metal ID tag, which carries the displacement and model year among other info. This tag is generally attached to either the intake manifold in front of the carb or to the ignition coil on the front of the engine, if you're engine is original and untouched, look for it.

What vehicle year/model is/was it in. And what size do you suspect that it is?

 

Thx for the reply.the motor is in a 32 coupe now after market intake,i cant match the numbers up any where it has too be a 289 or 302 any more help whould be great. ty

 

289 and 302 are the same block w/ different crank

 

is this motor a 2 or 4 barrel carb set up .james

 

try using the vin # decoder @ http://www.ford-trucks.com/vin-decoder/index.php

 

Since Ford didn't produce the 302 until 1968, I would say that you have a 1965 289cuin Windsor engine. The 2-barrel engine came with 9.3:1 compression and the 4-barrel engine came with 10.0:1 compression from the factory.

 

Thx for all the help.i have tri power in it now. the 302 came out in 1968 also.

 

Thx commen sence you are wise.

 

Any chance of in being a HP 289?
