Im sure it has been asked and answered many times but I am going to ask again anyway..........

How do you identify the year of a small block ford???

Thanks Guys..

Look at the cast number on the side of the block. The letter and the number next to it will give you the year.....

i.e....

D9 = 79

F=90's
E=80's
D=70's
C=60's

Thanks guys..

The starter is off and the engine is sitting on a stand. What am I looking up at???

Bare in mind up till this cobra project I have never given a ford motor a look. If it was not from mother mopar it might as well been from a different world so I am beginning with the learning process.

Look for the cast number on the side of the block.....like I said before....it should have a letter followed by numbers....get those.
