IWR1982 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 We're cleaning out Grandma's garage and trying to figure out what to do with Dad's old engines. He feels very confident this is an old Ford motor from 1958, but he can't remember any other details. Anyone able to identify this one? He doesn't remember what car it came out of... Thanks!

Bloo Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) That is a Ford "FE" engine, most likely from 1958 or 1959. It should be 332 or 352 cubic inches. The thermostat neck suggests it isn't any newer (1960 or 61 would have had a surge tank there instead of a thermostat neck, so would a Thunderbird all the way back to 58).

IWR1982 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thank you, sir. Are there casting marks or numbers we can look for on the block or heads to help identify it? Would the VIN be stamped anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I don't know much more than that. I imagine you will eventually get answers as there are a lot of knowledgeable people here. Another possibility is the Ford FE forum: https://www.fordfe.com/332-428-ford-fe-engine-forum-f74182/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
