curious about engine number
Hi,
My 34 pickup has a later model 59 engine (number cast into bell housing), with a number stamped onto the intake manifold deck near the drivers side rear of the block. The number is preceded and followed by a start 99A-1094905. Here's a picture. What does this tell me about this engine? Thanks, Jim |

Re: curious about engine number
Back in 1961 I bought a 1947 Ford coupe that after owning a while felt that it was quite original. I was the third owner and it was still in the same city where purchased new. I pulled the heads one day to have them milled. While cleaning up the surfaces I found that the frame number had been stamped in the same location as yours. It had ;the stars etc.

Some states required it but most didn't.

Cool, so I take it this is the same as the frame number that the engine originally came from.
Thanks! |

Re: curious about engine number
Ford stamped the stars before and after the vin numbers and engine numbers to help stop fraud concerning the years a car was made.
