Dan, the problem is that the scratch marks are not always consistent. There are examples over on www.fordfe.com of almost every type of block with almost every type of mark. The definitive method of testing is to measure the bore, look at the crank saddle for extra webbing, and then the next time your freeze plugs are out peek inside and measure between the bores. The date code is reliable, though. FWIW, my 428 FE has no casting numbers over on the side of the block. This is fairly common. |
