Re: 292 312 Ford Engine
There is a letter/number cast into the side of the block above the oil pan rail. If you see ECZ-xxxx-A or C, there is a good chance it is a 312. The only way for sure is to look on the crank flange for a flat spot with a dot in the center. Then it is a 312. Ford made both 292's and 312's on that same block in the last years of the 312, just machined the main bores to a larger size for 312's. John Mummerts website shows and explains all this in greater detail.

Main bearing caps for a 312 have an ECZ prefix casting number. All others are EBU. Two links to the *ID a 312* pages on John Mummerts website... http://ford-y-block.com/identify312.htm http://ford-y-block.com/crankshaftid.htm Last edited by dmsfrr; 07-18-2019 at 10:59 PM. |

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine
If you can send the photo to [email protected] I'll try to post it for you.
But it may a bit... I'm fairly busy today cleaning out a space in the garage for a car I'm leaving town to pick up tomorrow. |

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine
Still cannot determine engine size. The cross over exhaust is early, but I've seen 312 long blocks under that old exhaust and lifter galley covers.

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine
thanks for posting the photos-you're more computer savvy than I. I'm listing the engine for sale. What's a fair price? Part it out or as a whole? I live in Greenville VA. I have a couple of Ford trucks a 62 and 64 F 100s. Picked this engine up to put into the 62-- but we ended up rebuilding the one was that in it.

That's going to be hard to determine until the engine is identified. Where is Greenville, VA?

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine
I can take a guess from the pictures, but a block and head casting number would help a lot. Heads are '56 or later. The distributor is '57 or later. Rocker arm adjusting nuts are '57 or later. The front cover has two flat machined bosses on top (I think that's truck ?).
If I guessed, I would say it's a truck 292 from '58 to the early 60's. Plus pretty sure they stopped building 272's after 1957. Sal |

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine
I stand corrected. The 272 was still available in '58 and possibly '59 in trucks.

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine
I should have known that. Born in Roanoke and am now a little above Martinsburg, WV (still trying to figure out how I wound up here in Yankee Country ... ).

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine
the 272 was used in early 58 and then was upped to 292.scicala pointed out why it should be a 292.the valley cover is 58 or newer.unless someone shifted things around its a 292.if we knew what heads we could figure the year.

Re: 292 312 Ford Engine
Let's guess the ENGINE ID with just a few picture ...
That engine could be any combination of parts over the service life of the FYB. It has to be ID'd by the CASTING ID and DATE CODE NOS. What if the OP tries to sell it using incorrect info and once the buyer puts it on a forensic table finds what it was described as isn't? I feel like I am watching old I CAME NAME THAT TUNE TV shows ...
