Alright heres the deal.
My 95Gt feels powerfull. More powerfull than an almost stock one should. I drive my fathers 3.2Tl type S and our family Mercedes 320E which has 220hp. I know what a little power feels like. My car has ***** when i hit the gas. The previous owner put flowmasters, short headers, a shift kit, and 3.73 gears in it, so mabye he put more in it as well. those are the things i have found so far. I thought mabye there was some head work done to the car so i poped the hood to see if i could spot anything out of the ordinary. I saw the sticker on the head covering that has some numbers on it. It is unforunately ripped but i got some whole numbers out of it
4K342BA
936042 559

do these numbers have any signifigance? I have heard the term casting numbers before around here. What exactly are those and where can i find them?
I know this probobly dosent mean anything, but hey, ya never know. Thanks in advance guys,

got me stumped it is no codes I have seen. Most are hidden or start with letters if it is Ford.

 

Ford Motor Co.'s plan to reopen an Ohio engine plant is the first in a series of moves to overhaul it's powertrain products and operations, WAW has learned.

By late 2003, Ford says it will be building all-aluminum 2.5L and 3L Duratec V-6s at the mothballed Cleveland Engine Plant #1 (CEP1) in Brook Park, OH. But in a currently vacant portion of the same plant, Ford will unveil an all-new 3.5L V-6 before 2008, a source says.

And while Ford and the United Auto Workers union insist there is no firm commitment to build a new product at the automaker's Lima, OH, plant, rumors to the contrary persist. A source tells WAW that Ford will build a new V-6 there bearing the brand name Cyclone.

In addition, a Ford official confirms a V-6 or V-8 diesel is destined for the automaker's storied Dagenham, U.K., plant. Sources tell WAW the new diesel will be a 2.7L V-6 Duratorq for use in light commercial applications.

 

Cleveland engine plant #1 to build Duratec engines


Brook Park, Ohio ? Ford Motor Company announced today that it will reopen the Cleveland Engine Plant #1 in late 2003. The plant is being modernized to accommodate new production of the Duratec V6, a sophisticated dual overhead cam (DOHC) aluminum engine. Increased use of lightweight, advanced aluminum engines will help Ford meet its environmental commitments. The DOHC Duratec V6 -- available in 2.5-liter and 3.0-liter displacements -- is offered in the Ford Taurus, Escape, Mercury Sable, Cougar, Mazda MPV and Tribute.

Annual production is projected to be 325,000 units a year. More than $350 million is being invested in new equipment and tooling. Over time, employment will return to 650, the level of employment before it closed. Today, over 250 workers are involved in the facility's modernization efforts.

Cleveland Engine Plant #1, which turns 50 in December, was idled late last year when the legendary 5.0-liter V8 was phased out of production. Since that time, a radical facility redesign and modernization effort has been underway.

The 1.9 million square foot Cleveland Engine Plant #1 was opened in December 1951. The facility has produced more than 32 million engines, including the 221/260/289 V8 and the 240/300 (4.9-liter) I6.

The Cleveland Manufacturing Site's dual engine facilities ? Cleveland Engine Plant #1 and #2 ? will have the capacity to produce over one million units a year once CEP1 opens in 2003.
