I found the block number on my engine, was wondering what they mean:
E5AE
03B
E5AE
03B

E = 8 (decade)
5 = 5 (year)
So it's a 1985 block... not too often have I seen year models with blocks cast the same year.2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.
1992 Explorer Eddie Bauer, slight lift, 34s, and A/C...
1979 Bronco Custom, 351M/C6/NP205, 4" lift, 35s, lots of fender trimming. -
Dumb question here...I was ripping into my 302 roller block e7 casting but the rods were C8's...why would 1968 rods be in my 88 motor? Did ford just use the same rods through all the years?
2009 Ford F-350 6.4 powerstroke diesel. 1977 Ford F-150 built 300 six, 5 speed trans. 1976 MG MGB roadster, 359w, t5 5 speed. 1996 Kawasaki ninja ZX6R.
My rod is glowing, my bead is clean, my middle name is acetyleneComment

1985 motors have a flat tappet cam, but they have the bosses in the lifter galley that can be drilled for the roller lifter retainer. Probably means its the original one in the car.
No idea about the rods but I wouldn't be highly surprised if the original connecting rod design from 1968 (first year for the 302 I believe) is still in use. I didn't pay attention to the castings on my rods.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Darknight-If you lay down under the car, look between the starter and the block, it will be on the lip where the bellhousing for the trans mounts upComment
