Hi all,
I am very new to the Mustang scene and had a quick question. Did ford put a partial VIN stamping on the engine block somewhere that proved that a certian block belonged to a certain car? I know on my Camaros there was a partial vin stamped on the deck of the block so you would know which car it belonged to. The car in question is a 66 Mustang GT.

Thanks in advance,
Nick

 

No. There are no numbers matching early Mustangs. You have a block casting number that tells you what the block is, but it has nothing to do with the VIN of the car.

 

Soaring,

Thanks for the info. So can you tell for sure that the car has the block it was born with?

Thanks Again,
Nick

 

No, but you can tell by the block casting number what block it is. Again, there were no matching numbers on the 64-66 Mustangs. That engine you have may or may not have come with that car, and you will never know ; especially if the engine in your car is year specific such as a 289 or an I6 200. Your vehicle identification number does not give you this specific information.

 

Did Ford ever start doing this on later Mustangs?
