292 312 Ford Engine Hi
I have a 292 312 engine. It has a serial number on an original manifold as follows " ECE-9431-8 8 An odd looking "C" symbol with another symbol inside the C and a 4E 26. Anyone have any idea what year Ford the engine came out of? Also where would an engine number be located. Thanks Nick |
Re: 292 312 Ford Engine The chart in this link shows the manifold to be from a '55 or '56 272" engine.

Some parts were used on different year & displacement engines and the casting numbers could carry on for a couple years until Ford saw the need to change them. Not to mention parts from 'wherever' being swapped around in the 60+ years since then. A misc info and casting number link... http://www.y-block.info/main.html The casting number on the engine block itself is the one to look for. Quote:
Go to the "Block Identification" tab (with a few photos) at this link... http://ford-y-block.com/technical.htm The "CF" symbol is for the Cleveland Foundry, as opposed to the Dearborn Industrial Foundry "DIF". The "4E 26" is the date code of when the part was made, 4 = '54, E = May, and 26 would be the 26th day of the month. IIRC . |

The CASTING ID NO. identifies the EXH MAN as being a 272CI. |
Re: 292 312 Ford Engine Wow. A great brain bank of knowledge. Thanks for all the info. So it's not a 292 312-- it's a 272. Cool. Big thanks.

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine thanks so much for the info. Cheers Nick

Those ECE exhaust manifolds will bolt on to almost any other Y-block engine thru '64. A 272 will have the letters "ECG" on the block, usually at the base of the distributor. Also the 'DIF' symbol. . |
Re: 292 312 Ford Engine Can't find any symbols on the block??

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine look above the oil filter.

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine It can be bored out .060" to make it a 292.
Those are heavy engines. What tranny do you have with it? If it is a manual that is a good thing. The automatics were god awful heavy because it was cast iron case with cast iron bellhousing. Good thing if it has a 4 barrel carb and intake manifold already on it. Hang on to that engine even if you just store it under tarp. They do not grow on trees anymore. |
Re: 292 312 Ford Engine What is a ECZ 9425B intake manifold?

It's also the best one for performance that came from the factory. There are better aluminum ones available too. Sal |

Like every Chevy engine for sale is out of a Corvette... any Y-block for sale is a 312. |

Too much guessing and too little fact. |
Re: 292 312 Ford Engine I took a photo of the number on the block below the distributor. Had the Cleveland symbol and a 35 number. I tried to post the engine photos here but it won't let me????

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine Found it below the distributor-- a Cleveland symbol and a 35 number? Tried to post a photo but site wouldn't let me?
|
Re: 292 312 Ford Engine What was the letter code? 35 is the CASTING MOLD NO used.
