Hi! I come from germany and i restore an Ford LTD 1971. I had a problem with the engine because i dont know which engine i had, original its an 351 Windsor but some one put an other engine in this car. Block Number: D4DE-6015-BA 6JI Head Number: D70E DC I need to know what kind of engine this is. I hope you understand what i write! Bastian Rüther
Welcome I don't have much information for you, but to assure that your question is very clear English. I notice the year of your block is 74 and the year of the heads is 77. Do you have any photos? I am sure there are folks that could identify by the numbers, however it is not me. Good luck! Dave
Look at the valve covers and see how many bolts are in them. If it has 6 then it is a W engine and 8 is a 351M engine. Then If it has 6 bolts in the valve cover then look at where the timing chain cover bolts to the block where the water passages are on both sides. If the deck of the block (where the heads bolt on) is even with the top of the water passage then it is a 302, if the deck is about 3/4 of an inch (19mm) above the water passage it is a 351W. As you look at the two engines in the car they look almost the same but for the taller deck height on the 351W and a little wider intake manifold. Hope this helps By the way, what part of Germany are you from? I have spent about 11 years there and would be interested in where you are from. Don
or just take out one head bolt. if 1/2" thread then its a 351w. if 7/16" thread then its a 302. then reinstall and torque the head bolt.
The Way I Tell 351 The Intake Bolts Are 9 Inches Apart 302 Is Smaller Look At Front Of Intake Mesure Across The Front Bolts

Wow! Does that car even fit on a German road??? At least in England it is surely 2 lanes wide... Great find. I like those 2 door versions. Good luck Dave
