Found the numbers off my engine, was hoping somebody would be kind enough to translate them for me.


C90E 6059A B5


thanks much,

 

The first two digits indicate the decade and the year;
A = 40's
B = 50's
C = 60's
D = 70's
E = 80's
F = 90's
G = 00's

So the first two digits indicate that it is a "C" 60's and a "8" so that tells us it is a 68 head.

The third digit designates the vehicle model line;
A = Ford full size (Galaxie)
B = Bronco (70-75)
C = Torino/Elite
D = Falcon
E = Escort
F = Pinto, Maverick, Late model Falcon
G = Early Comet (61-68), Montego, Cyclone (69-76)
H = Medium & heavy duty truck
J = Industrial
K = Edsel
L = Lincoln (58-60)
M = Mercury
O = Fairlane (62-68), Torino (69-76)
R = Capri
S = Thunderbird
T = F series or Bronco
U = Econoline van
V = Lincoln
W = Cougar
Z = Mustang

So the third digit indicates that it "D" was off a Falcon.

The fourth digit designates the engineering group;
A = Chassis
B = Body
E = Engine

Or if it's a service replacement part;
M = Ford Motorsport or FFRP
X = Original Ford racing program/Muscle Parts
Y = Lincoln-Mercury
Z = Ford

So the fourth digit indicates that it was a "Z" Ford replacement part.

The next 4 numbers (6049) indicates the Ford "group number" for a head

The last digit "C" on the end of the part number indicates that this part was in its third revision. If revised again it would turn into a "D" and so on.

 

Thats for engine heads but it should be close if not the same as an engine.
