Which F-ing Engine is this?

Phinney · June 6th, 2009, 01:27 PM

I have a 1975 Ford LTD with a v8 engine, and I cant figure out exactly which engine is in it.

it could be:

302 CID Windsor V8
351 CID Cleveland V8
351 CID 351M V8
400 CID Cleveland V8
429 CID 385 V8
460 CID 385 V8

The vin is:
5u63h16678

I cant find a vin lookup for that early year... anyone know how i can find out what this thing is hiding under all that dirt? ( it drives by the way)

Anyone?

Should be a sticker on the passenger side valve cover if it is still there that states what size the engine is.

look at the water neck where the upper radiator hose goes to the motor.

If it is on the front/bottom of the intake manifold with a 45 or 90 degree turn facing up its a 302

if its on the block its a 351/400m

if its on the intake, but on the top side its a big block 429/460 bout the easiest way if you have no clue

For the record, a 400 is NOT a cleveland. They're both 335-series motors, as is the 351M (which is just a destroked 400).

Cleaned some grease off, the drivers side had the sticker.
351m/400 351 CID

Thanks for the help

If it's a 351M, don't listen to the hype about it being a boat anchor. With a 4 barrel, cleveland heads, and decent exhaust, you WILL pull power out of that motor.
