Engine ID tags YBlocks
Anyone have any info on theses tags. What does the numbers signify (code) See pic - the round item with the # 265 on it. I assume the coding has something to do with displacement and or HP, sedan or Tbird engine.

Re: Engine ID tags YBlocks
It is (was) an ENGINE IDENTIFICATION TAG used during that period. They went to metal tags later.
Full description is described in a period TECH BULLETIN of the period which I seem to have misplaced. The trouble with them was being cardboard, they didn't last long.

I GUARANTEE oldmics has it if he were still here. Can you wait few days? ADDENDUM - (Boy Likes His Addendums; Colons Too) Here is an ENGINE ID tag used in the sixties and early seventies. Notice ENGINE CODE NUMBER. That is what you are seeing on a fifties car engine tag abbreviated. The CODE will give FORD the exact build and calibration of the engine(s).

Re: Engine ID tags YBlocks
Yes - I saw that - thanks. I also came across a 266 tag and the owner says it came from an automatic 56 Tbird.

Maybe that is where I saw the SERVICE LETTER, on a BIRD MESSAGE BOARD. Now I know that it is copyrighted material but does it show a FORD SERVICE LETTER SOURCE for the info? I've looked through most 1957 SERVICE LETTERS and did not see it. It might have been in another year. - 1957 FORD MODEL YEAR SERVICE LETTERS - SOURCE - https://57fordsforever.com/smf/index.php?board=19.20
