Fe Casting Numbers
Early casting number location. EBV-C 1956 and later location. 5752-113
Decode Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury part numbers, casting numbers, engineering and service parts, and date codes: Ford kept track of the various parts and castings in its inventory by assigning each item its own unique alphanumeric identification number. These numbers provide a lot of information to those who are familiar with what the numbers mean. Ford FE Crankshaft Casting Numbers NOTE - The information presented here was gathered from a variety of sources. If you see (or don't see) anything that. The casting number is located where the starter bolts up to the bell housing. Removal of the starter is necessary to see the number. 390FE V-8 Big Block. The casting number is located where the starter bolts up to the bell housing. Numbers can be horizontal or vertical. In some cases, they are not there at all!

*Compression ratios listed are from Ford literature and are theoretic figures that exclude deck volume and head gasket displacement. Most published compression ratios are approximately 9% higher than actual.
When engines are rebuilt with composition head gaskets deduct about 12% for actual compression.
Do to the thinness of the deck surface of some Y-Block heads, particularly the ECZ-G heads, it is recommended that unposted heads not be milled more than .025'. Posted heads have been milled up to .045' without trouble.
Heads with large 'S' in between center exhaust valves are service replacement heads as date codes are after production run.
