I just pulled apart my engine I just bought. I got down to crank and says D10E on it. I'm trying to find out what size it is so i know a little more about what was done to engine. I was told it had all this stuff done to it which by pulling it apart was a lie. Good thing i didn't pay a lot of it.
There should be another number on it usually near the front counterweights. It'll say something like 1M, 2M, 3M, 2MA, 2MAE...something like that. The D1OE is just a part number prefix.
I'm new to auto stuff. This is my first time ripping apart an engine. I'm not sure what and where the weight is that your talking about. Is that the thing that is sticking out of the block on the front? There are #'s all over it then a lot of numbers after it. at the end it does say A3A of some numbers. only ones i can remember off top of my head. I just looked with flash light on the crank and I couldn't find any other numbers. Its still sitting in the block with Oil pump and stuff on still. Will i have to remove any of these? Well.. I better rap this up and get out of here. Thank you for all your help and hopefully you understand what i'm saying.
the first picture is the harmonic balancer. if the part number starts with d1, then it is a 71. if it were a c9, then it would be a 69. the letter is the decade, c is 60's. d is 70's, e is 80's. from the looks of the bottm end it is basically stock. the timing chain is stock. if any mods had been done to it, one of the basic things to change is going to a roller timing chain. it may have bigger pistons. they should be stamped on the top if they are. never buy or pay a lot for an engine from someone unless you can verify the work was done. good luck. make sure you have a manual. how to rebuild your small block ford is a good one. you can get that at most auto parts stores.
okay cool Thank you. One more question. what is the best way for a dummy to find out if its a 302 or 351??
Look behind the distributor. If the webbing is about an inch high.................351. If it is about flush with the hole................302.
Got a 302 intake laying around? if it fits.... Best way is to find the casting# on the block and do a net search... something is bound to turn up.
Well.. I'm not sure if it looks right but the hole is a little lip maybe 1/4 in if i'm lucky but is pretty much flush. Also I got an extra oil pan around here and put it over it and it fit right up bolts and everything. I guess that answers my question.... Oh well... Looks like 347 and not 408 now
351w block: See the difference? The deck is a little taller on the w block than on the 302 (just look at how far the deck is above the water pump holes). That's the absolute easiest way to tell the difference. Once you get used to seeing the different ones side-by-side, you can spot 'em a mile away.
Its a 302 for sure 100%. I took all the pisons out and they said 302 on them. Also I see now with the deck high and its pretty much flush so that means 302 like you guys said. Everything is off the block but the crank I got to take off the pully thing to get chain off. getting ready to go do that right now. Everything looks 100% stock and has ford on everything but its so clean. There is no build up of any kind anywhere and oil screen had nothing in there. I'm guessing the guy that had motor rebuild it with stock parts maybe? I'm not sure... All gaskets were brand new and came right off is another reason I think this. When i changed valve covers on my 302 in my Mav gaskets were shot and they were already replaced once and same thing with oil pan and to get screw driver and rip them off. So was this motor just taken care of or do you guys think it was rebuild?
