Where Are the Casting Numbers Located on a Ford Falcon Engine

Friday, April 18, 2014 | Labels: , , , , , , , , , , | 0 comments |

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.

Instructions

    1

    Identify which type of Ford Falcon engine you have by looking in the owners manual. There are two casting types for this make of engine, the 221 and the 260.

    2

    Look near the rear of the engine block, under the intake manifold, for the casting number on a 221 engine. 221 casting numbers are: C2OE-6069-A, B, C, D OR E

    C3OE-6069-A.

    3

    Locate the casting number for a 260 engine under the right side cylinder bank near the rear of the engine block. 260 casting numbers are: C2OE-6069-F, C3OE-6069-B, C4OE-6069-B.

    3

    Type your VIN into an online decoding service. If your local dealership is unable to help, online decoders can be used to break apart your VIN number and find the corresponding parts number. Double check when entering the VIN -- including every number in is important.
