Where Are the Casting Numbers Located on a Ford Falcon Engine

Casting numbers are a unique stamp on the engine parts to tell when a part was originally designed and what car it was originally designed for. This does not mean that the part was not used on other cars. Most casting numbers are stamped into the part itself; others have the number molded on the part. Some casting numbers can be ink-stamped while others are printed on paper, which is then wrapped around the part.
