The Ford V-8 Engine Workshop
Engine I.D. Tag Information, ~ 1964/72

Engine I.D. Tag
Ford V-8 engines produced between early 1964 and early 1973 may be identified by the information on an aluminum I.D. tag, approximately 3" long by 5/8" wide. On most engines, the tag is located under the ignition coil mounting bolt. This information on the tga includes the cubic inch displacement, model year, engineering change level, year and month production, the engine's code number, and usually an engine plant code. The plant codes are C=Cleveland, E=Ensite, Canada, and W=Windsor, Canada. Month of production is coded by a letter, starting with A=January. The letter "I" is not used in Ford date codes to avoid confusion with the numeral "1". M=December.

Lots of engines gets swapped over the years. Make sure your VIN Code matches up.

Click on the VIN Code letter to see the major specifications for a particular engine.
