does any one know how i would be able to find out the year of the engine in my car i have a 65 with a 302 but as you know 302's didnt come that year thanks for ya help

 

pull off the starter and there will be a build date and serial number stamped on the block

 

thanks i will do that and see what i find

 

actually, that is an engineering code, look on the intake manifold for a metal tag, it is most likely not there, but that tag will tell the exact date that the engine was built

 

Is there a way to tell who made my block even though its like not even a few years old yet?

the guy before bought a short block and built the engine so i dono what it is but it would still be cool to know where he got it from...?


P.S. - It has an edelbrock intake so it would be on there....

 

Short blcoks are generally old rebuilt blocks. Check the number by the starter.

 

would i have to unbolt the starter to see it???

if so whats the best way to do that...? do i need to disconnect the battery and stuff?

 

2 bolts one cable and no the cable is not hot on a ford. The safety guys will tell you to disconnect the battery. I drop them all the time with the cable still on the starter if I'm just inspecting the flywheel and the starter.

 

I still have the metal tag, it's a nice little thing to have.
