Determining Ford 302 year.
Anyone know how to best determine what year 302 engine I have in my Cobra? There is no date of assembly stamped on the front driver side pad just below the distributor.

There should be a numbers on the right side of the block above the starter. You will see from the bottom looking up. These will be the casting numbers. They should have numbers like C8... or D2... or E5... etc. The first letter is the decade, "C" = 1960's, "D" = 1970's, "E" = 1980's, etc. The first number indicates the year it was made. Example = "C5...." 1965 was when it was cast. Then it goes on from there, this is the easiest way to identify. After this it breaks down by date and production run, I believe. Thanks, Matt.
