ok just wondering what some of these stand for,...
the TE in E-7te heads
the sn in SN-95
the mn in MN-12
the first 2 letters in the lincon mark 8 body... i forget but i know its not mn-12
and any others anybody might think up.
Each digit in a Ford part/casting no. has a meaning. Unfortunatly I don't remember exactly what they are or where I saw how to decode them..
But for the E7TEs I think this is correct...
First digit decade E= '80s
Second is year in the decade(7)
Third is vehicle line (T= truck)(others are S= Tbird, A= Full size, Z= Mustang etc.). This will change as car lines are phased out and new ones added, have to refer back to decade.
Fourth is division (E= engine)(others are chassis, body, electrical, etc. but I don't remember the corresponding codes)
So the E6SE heads = '80s, 6, Tbird, Engine
My C8OE 428 Cobra Jet heads = '60s, 8, Fairlane, Engine
I believe the GT40 Iron heads I had were cast F1ZE = '90s 1, Mustang, Engine.
this will help with part number. http://www.wantabe.com/hdrace/dfrdpt.htm
There are also engineering numbers, which are what you sometimes see on a physical part. I have no ideas about body designations etc.
What about FOX ,the Fox body :giggle:
