Hey. So from what I have read here, my engine (E5AE C3B) is a 1985 roller engine? I bought a 1988 ford ranger and it has a 302. I am just tryin to verify the year of the engine so that i can do some work to it...
Well, I'm just saying I don't know if the casting number tells you it's a roller block. It could be someone else here can tell you from the casting number. Definitely if you pull the intake you will know.
The casting numbers are most commonly near where the starter goes. It will begin with a 4-digit letter-number-letter-number sequence.
Just about all of them have a string of only numbers like you gave us, so we'll need more info like what vehicle it might have come from or physical characteristics.
