Need help Identifying a motor with the casting numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Hi All I could sure use some help here I purschased what I believe to be a 351 Windsor and have been trying to identify it as such with the casting numbers but I have had no luck. If someone could help me out I would greatly apprecate it I need to know what year this motor is if it is a 351 Windsor as I expect and if you can tell me if it is a truck or a car motor and what horsepower it left the factory as. It has a stock four barrell manifold on it. The casting numbers on my motor are E3AE-6015-BA 17 I also would appreciate any information on where you acquired your information so I would be able to find it myself in the future. Thank you for your help in advance. I do greatly appreciate it. Gary

If Ford's part #'s haven't changed, your engine is from 1983.
E3=1983
A=Ford (or Galaxie, but obviously the year doesn't match with that)
E=Engine
6015 is the part number for a cylinder head, if I'm not mistaken.
BA- I *think* (probably wrong) is for a 302.
This is all pretty much from memory, so the info may not be entirely correct, but hopefully it will get you started. -
I need help identifying this ford 4 cylinder motor #'s Igot off block RF-E37E-6015-BC would like year&what it came out of was told it was out of a ranger but not sure thank's Howie

The number you post is a part number.
MNeedham73 is pretty close.
E = Decade ( In your case = 80's)
3 = Year of that decade (1983)
A = Full size Ford
E = Engine Group
6015 = Engine
The suffix on any part is an engineering thing.
A single letter will tell you if the part is Original = A, 1st. Revision = B, 2nd revision = C
The next letter wil tell you how many times the part was revised i.e. A = 1st time, B = 2nd, C = 3rd and so on
I don't believe that you can tell if it was a Cleveland or Windsor from this number. I can say that the Windsor fuel pump had a valve of sorts on the top of the section that goes from the diaphram to the engine block whereas the Cleveland does not.
I also think I remember that the Windsor had spark plugs that were taken out with 3/4" socket and the Cleveland had plugs that were taken out with 5/8.
Of course they all say that the mind is the first to go so do your research well and I have been wrong once or twice in my life, lol.
I also think that ford did not document their casting numbers as well as G.M.
If you can find someone with a good parts manual for your year it will help. I have a book but it only goes to 1976. Sorry.
I hope some of this helps.
Ron
