Where To Find Engine Tags
I RECENTLY A 1966 COUPE WITH A 289 WITH EDLEBROCK 4 V INSTALLED ON IT...iT APPEARS THAT i DO NOT HAVE A 289 BUT RATHER A 302 OR A 351...THE WATER PUMP INLET IS DOWN TO THE DRIVERS SIDE AS IN A 1970 302 ..THE TAG IS SUPPOSED TO BE NEAR THE COIL ON THE FRONT OF THE BLOCK BUT IT ISNT...WOULD ANYONE BE ABLE TO TELL ME HOW i CAN IDENTIFY MY ENGINE EASILY? OR DOES ANYONE KNOW A SITE THAT I COULD FIND INFO

Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
How about pulling the valve cover?
So long as the gunk isn't built up so much that the casting marks aren't visible, there should be a some marks on the head... a "289"..."302"... "2V".... "4V"... If you have to scrape any gunk away, be sure that it doesn't fall down the oil holes... might be a good idea to stuff them before you start scraping around.. |
Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
thanks for the info. I will look and post what I find
Much appreciated Ken |
Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
Just thought of something else...
I think that early 289s only had 3 bolts hold the pulley to the crankshaft... while by 68, they had 4... |
Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
I believe I have a 302,,what year I don't knowIn 70 they started with the cast water pump im my configuration on 351 and 302..I will check and see
Thx again ken |
Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
Well I have some info...The edelbrock intake says TORKER 289..the Edelbrock carb says 1406 and 0521......the head inside the valve cover says 302 and 1A15. so it looks like I have a 302 with a 600cfm carb...Is there any way to find what year the engine might be? It also says weber on side of carb

Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
That's big intake for most set ups...
at least you know that the heads are from a 302. http://www.mustangmonthly.com/howto/5801/index4.html Looks like a head casted on Jan. 15 1971. |
Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
MMMMMMMM Thank you..So if it was casted on Jan 15 1971 It is probably a 1971 302. Yes I agree 650 cfm does seem big....What might I experience because of this?
THanks for the link...where might the clock they talk about be on the block |
Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
I never knew what that clock was for... I think it is right there on the head, as well... Should be a circle that looks like a clock. Not sure where it would be on the block.
a 650 probably won't be that big of a deal, I was talking more of the Torker intake... if I remember right, that is a single plane manifold that starts at 2500 or more RPMS. You would gain more bottom end power and torque by stepping down to a Performer, or Performer RPM dual plan manifold. Unless you have a nice stall converter, plenty of upgrades in the engine, full dual exhaust w/ headers.... you shouldn't be seeing 6k and 7k on your tach, which is where the torker starts to really show its "manhood"... |
Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
ohhhhhhhhh ..I wonder what the previous owner was thinking? No idea if there is a stall converter ...will have to check .It does have dual exhaust no H pipe...no headers just the cast iron manifolds .....so the intake might be too much????
thank you for your comments KGN |
Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
Stock converters... stock trannies... and stock rear gears are a certain no-no if you are running a single plane manifold. Especially if you still have the stock exhaust.
Maybe he/she got a good deal at a swap meet... |
Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
Maybe....I will have to look into this further...the exhaust is not stock ....8 inch rear but thats all I know...tranny mounts have been reinforced but might be stock tranny.
hope he did something right. KGN. |
Re: Where To Find Engine Tags
I just went to edelbrocks site and cant find a torker 289 on there...mmmmmmmmmm
