Engine number
 

A new to me 1929 Town sedan followed me home tonight and she said I could keep it.:D

In looking the engine number is higher than listed for the rouge plant even after 1932. A4871303 Am I to assume this was a repacement engine or what?

Look to see if it is a diamond block.

and if you haven't done so already go to Steve Plucker's fantastic website http://www.plucks329s.org/

Re: Engine number
 

The number is a ways higher than Steve's last one......

Re: Engine number
 

Does it have a star before and after?

Re: Engine number
 

If we drop the last 3 we get a Oct 1928 date?!

Re: Engine number
 

Vince's site shows it as being built in 1938. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/ABenginenumbers.htm

My number is A 4869469 and has a casting C 5 7 meaning March 5th, 1937. It is also a diamond block. ( Rouge plant ) Look on the right side down low just behind the timing gear and look for both the diamond and the letter with 2 numbers. Maybe this will help.

Re: Engine number
 

OK, so it is a Diamond block. The number on the casting is F29

Re: Engine number
 

Hang onto that block. It is supposedly made better than the non-diamond blocks. On second thought, it probably is not all that good, just give it to me! :D:rolleyes:

Re: Engine number
 

F 2 9 = June 2, 1929. Diamond = Rouge plant. Others will chime in. I think it has some block and valve modifications. It's a keeper !

Re: Engine number
 

Because of the high serial number wouldn't that be a June of '39
