I. Summary
Casting and Part Numbers

Part numbers and casting numbers are pretty much the same when it comes to "hard parts". Those are those big long codes (C7ZZ-6540544-DR, etc) that you find that identify every Ford part made. Many parts are too small to have the number cast or printed on it, but it still has a casting number. These numbers tell you what that part was originally designed for, what department designed it, and when it was designed. People are often confused by looking at a part or casting number. Just because a part was originally made for a Falcon doesn't mean the part came off of a Falcon. Many Mustang parts were originally designed for the Falcon and carry a Falcon casting number. Ford is famous for using parts designed for one car on a variety of models.

A basic part number is included within the casting number and indicates what the part is, not what it was made for, or when it was made. An example could be a master cylinder - most master cylinders have a basic part number of 2140, but there a number of different master cylinders for different Ford vehicles. They all are master cylinders however, and share a basic part number.
Example for illustrative purposes:

C5ZZ-2140-CR (1965 Mustang Service part - manual disc brake - CR change level)

C - Decade of Manufacture - 1960's in this case
5 - Decade Year - This is a '65
Z - Car line - Mustang
Z - Ford Service Part - This came from the Engineering Department
2140 - Basic part number - 2140 is a master cylinder
CR - Design Change - indicates manual disc brakes
Casting Code Definitions
Decade of Manufacture:
A=1940
B=1950
C=1960
D=1970
E=1980
F=1990

Decade Year:
The digit of the year. A C8 would be 1968, a D1 would be 1971, C3 is a 1963.

Car Line:
Code Car Line Code Car Line
A Galaxie D Falcon (60-69)
F Outside US, T/A Racing G Comet/Montego
J Industrial M Mercury
O Fairlane/Torino P Autolite/Motorcraft
R Rotunda S Thunderbird

Z Mustang

Engineering Department:
A Chassis B Body
E Engine F Engine Accessories
J Autolite (67-72) P Auto Transmission
R Manual Transmission W Axle
X Muscle Parts Program Y Lincoln/Mercury Service Parts
Z Ford Service Parts

Basic Part Number:
This is the number that identifies what the part actually is - 2062 is a front slave cylinder, or 6268 is a timing chain set. 27846 is a quarter panel 50202 is a roof panel, etc

Design Change:
This indicates what application the basic part is used for. For example - "A" is for a 289/302 motor, whereas a "C" is for a 351C, 4v motor.
II. Detailed Explanation

Often friends will call me trying to determine Ford parts they can use or substitute. In SCCA Solo and Club Racing the rules often allow updating/backdating parts. In other words use a older or newer part from that product line of car. An example is my 1985 Mustang in American Sedan, generally I can use any bolt on component from 1979 through 1993 Capri or Mustang. The front brake system currently on the car is from a 1987 Mustang. The original 1985 brake system utilized an 10" front rotor while the 1987 system is 11" increasing the swept surface area of the brakes. The entire front suspension had to be replaced, lower front control arms, spindles, rotor, strut, calipers, brake hoses. Knowing how the part number system works helped considerably.

Ford part numbers are divided into two main categories Engineering and Service.

The engineers will design a part and assign it an Engineering part number, which is an alphanumeric reference code. When the part is redesigned the change needs to be noted so the Engineering part number is changed. When the part is released for Service it is assigned a Service part number. This allows Ford Parts and Service to track changes affecting interchangeability by modifying the Ford Service part number. The Service part number will not change with the Engineering part number unless the change affects interchangeability. Due to this the part numbers on the part are generally Engineering numbers while the Service part number will be on the box. There are some exceptions, such as a whole grouping of parts or a kit. Engineering and Service numbers decode the same way. The difference being the fourth character of the prefix. Part numbers consist of a prefix, a basic part number, and a suffix. An example would be F4ZZ (prefix), 6E086 (basic part number), -A (suffix). The first character of the prefix indicates the decade of design, starting with "A" for the 1940's, B for the 1950's, C for the 1960's. The second character of the indicates the year within the decade, "C5" would be 1965, "F4" would be 1994. The third character of the prefix indicates the product part the part was originally designed for, with few exceptions. Note that "outside sales (code F), "Motorcraft Brand" (code P), or imported parts from Ford of Europe (code R) are identified with their product line code in the third position. The fourth character indicates the part source, whether it is product engineering office or service part. The part number F4ZZ-6E086-A would equate to F4 = 1994, the third character Z = Mustang, the fourth character Z = Ford Parts and Services. The next group of numbers describe the part. I use these numbers at swap meets or salvage yard to match to existing numbers I have. I know if the basic number is the same it should be compatible if the suffix number on the part you are comparing is a later alpha character than the existing one. Early suffix designations generally begin with "A" and increment through the alphabet as design changes are made that affect interchangeability. If the suffix on the part I was looking to replace (my existing part) was an "A" I could use parts with have a "B" suffix. If the part I was looking to replace (my existing part) had a "B" suffix, a part with the "A" suffix would probably have a compatibility issue. Parts that have later suffix codes are the ones to get.

One thing the above article doesn't talk about is model numbers within part numbers. For instance C9AB-5427846-AC would be a quarter panel outer for a FOUR DOOR 69 Ford (full size, like a Galaxie)RH or passenger side. With the third design change - C level. If the part was for the drivers side it would end in 7 instead of 6. It MOST cases the even number body parts are for the passenger side and odd numbers are on the drivers side. Fenders are an exception and are reversed. 16015 is right side, 16016 is left (drivers) side...
C9AB-6327846-AC would be the same quarter panel but for a TWO DOOR model.
C9AB-7627846-AC would be the same quarter panel but for a STATION WAGON.
The 63, 54, 76 in front of the base part number 27846, designates the model of the car it fits. 2 door, 4 door, station wagon, five door hatch back etc.
This is actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it. I worked as a body designer (draftsman) at Ford for 29 years. ALL RH quarter panel outers are 27846 no matter what year or model they fit. ALL roof panels are 50202. All RH quarter inner panels are 27790. After awhile you recognize what a 16615 is or a 40414 is, or a 27840 is etc.

Enough for now.
Cheers.

Casting shaken out.May 23 2007 at 12:53 PM		Tod Tod (Login 427designer) Members from IP address 75.24.45.55

We poured the first block this morning at 8:30 and shook it out this afternoon at 1:00. Not bad. Had one misrun flaw that was welded while the metal was still warm. Once it is heat treated and cleaned up I will put the old yardstick to it and see if it needs any dimensional attention. I may have to use a tape measure for more accurate readings. Would anyone care to see any pics?

Update July 19 2009
I have two sets of cores going to the foundry to cast two more aluminum blocks, I ordered some main caps from Kenny at ProGram, sometime this week my line boring shop is supposed to bore the iron block that is to hopefully compete in the Jeg's EMC. I will also have them line bore the aluminum sample so it can be built by somebody. As soon as I can I will machine the two aluminum, if they ever get cast.

The economy is supposed to be bad. I can't get anything done in a reasonable time. I'm so busy I can't see straight. Foundry's busy. The shop doing my line boring laughs at this bad economy stuff. And we're in Youngstown, Ohio!! I just depends on what you're doing.

That misrun...

May 23 2007,5:51 PM

was probably the result of being poured too cool. I was worried about that area going into the pour and wasn't "disappointed". Tomorrow I'll take some more pics of that area after welding and cutting off the risers.

As it sits in the pics, it weighs 130lbs. When the risers are gone, the waterjackets are added, and all of the machine stock is removed I'll bet the thing will weigh 85-90 lbs. Add in sleeves and main caps and you will be back up to 105-110 tops. The OEM caps and bolts weigh 15 lbs. Yeah, 100-110 lbs.

Everyone give the guys at Miller Castings a round of applause for all of their help on getting this sample done.

In September 2008 Tod Provided the following pictures as he works some kinks out of his castings IMHO even this rough protoype is a work of art, great job Tod!!

Hey guys figured you would love to hear that the new Cleveland Blocks do exist. I hung out with Tod for about 3 hrs this afternoon. Thanks Tod for letting me hang out and watch and learn. I now understand why it has taken some time. This is an amazing piece of engineering, for one man. He not only designed the block and patterns but every aspect. This includes all of the fixtures, that have to be made and fitted to allow the machining process. He also has to make any repairs to the equipment when needed himself. Oh yea, and clean up all of the metal shavings, that abound. I never realized the Model A Ford is so popular. He has pallets and boxes of heads, manifolds, and water outlets that need to be machined, you can only machine so much, in a day. He could literally work 18-20 hrs a day, for the next year or more. All I can say, is that it is happening and I have the first one. I am hopefully working with Barry Robotnik to do a build with and have Hot Rod Magazine cover it, 427 ci of Cleveland. Anyhow, here are a couple of pics. The Date was not right, it should have been April, not January. The first pic is 3 generations of Ford. Tod's block, an NOS 351 Cleveland, and a Model A 4cylinder. He also has the Aluminum ones too, all being worked on. Oh yea, don't let Tod's old boot take away from the block.

Robert Shaw Thermostat

Part Number 333-180

text and photos George Pence

This is the Robertshaw "high flow" t-stat. The OEM t-stat was identicle, I suspect Robertshaw manufactured them for Ford.
They are currently available from Flow Kooler and Summit Racing.
Since the correct part is available, there is no need to hunt substitutes.

Allow me to introduce Marlin. Marlin is a fellow Pantera owner, a Cleveland enthusiast like all of us here, and a machinist by trade. He has been manufacturing and selling the Pantera pilot bushing for several years to members of the Pantera Forum and on e-Bay (the pilot bushing mates the 351C crank with the ZF transmission input shaft). Its a situation where he recognized the need for the part, and did something about it. His workmanship is top notch, and his business ethics above reproach. When the lack of replacement bypass washers for the 351C came to his attention, he decided to do something about that too. I'll let him explain the rest:

__________________________________________________________________________________________

I learned that the 351C Restrictor Plates, i.e. Bypass Washers, that press into the pocket in the 351 Cleveland block just under the thermostat are near impossible to find!! My Solution: I just finished reverse engineering, drafting, and machining a matching 'Punch and Die' set, to produce these in numbers large enough to meet everybodys needs. I have the brass sheet and we are turning them out as you read this. The material is pure "260 Yellow Cartridge Brass". Its highly resistant to corrosion and beautiful! You'll hate to hide it down inside the engine block. Its the same dimensions and thickness of brass as the oem piece. ALL the proper, and correct fillets and funnel shapes are there. I create them better than the original! Different only because the word 'TOP' is not stamped into the metal. If you know what these are, and how they are installed, you already know which side goes up! I am selling them for $35.00 each plus $4.55 for shipping to the US ONLY. Sure Beats that arodited steel piece of junk some poor soul paid $79.00 for on Ebay, last week!

Contact Me at: pantera1974@verizon.net

ebay seller neonfiddler has recreated these brass restrictors:
'Water By-Pass Plate'. For Ford 351 Cleveland Engine. The Same Thickness of Solid Brass, the Correct Inside and Outside Diameters; All the Fillets, Rounds and Funnel Shape, as the Original. The word 'TOP' is Not Stamped into this Reproduction.

If You are Not Fully Satisfied with the purchase of these Brass Plates, You may return the Uninstalled Part for a FULL refund! I Guarantee You get a perfect press-fit everytime. Be Advised that Once they are installed, they are in for Good!

To ever remove them means prying them out which will destroy the Press Fit.

Please read My FeedBack, Customers are Happy with this new Solid Brasspiece!

This Brass Plate is fitted to the Ford 351 CLEVELAND Block, Only.
You must have this Restrictor Installed to Maintain proper coolant circulation with-in the Block, upon Initial 'Warm-Up'; and aid in the Consistant Opening and Closing of the Thermostat to Promote Efficient Heating/Cooling Cycles.
Thanks For Looking!!

If compression ratio says not specified, manufacture didn't provide specs. You can assume a stock to 1/2-1 point difference, there are always exceptions unfortunately. If you are unsure about anything listed here, ask someone on the message board, they are more than happy to help.

Isky Cams started stating high compr for recommended compression ratios after 12:1. Assume 1-2 points higher than 12:1. But if in doubt for the proper compression ratio ask one of the knowledgeable people on the message board.

Air Cleaners

I'm gonna need a lot help with this page.

I'd like to see a big Chart with specs and applications.

1971 Cobra Jet

351-4V HO

351-4V

351 Mercury

If Stock is not available or if you want something a little different, the HO air cleaners from the early 80's make a good alternative.
The HO 5.0 from 83-85 with dual snorkels seem to be more expensive but work well.
The HO 351 intake from Bronco's and F-150's from generally the same time period also work and come with a nifty 5.8 HO sticker.
They are also pretty lightweight.

Here are a couple other offerings on the net. Not endorsing any of these necessarily, just presenting them as other alternatives.
