Help me date this 302

cturboaddict · Oct 9, 2019

Guy was told it's from an 89 fox. Looks to me to be coded to be 81. But looks to be a roller block....
Thoughts?

It's definitely a roller block, so it's not an 81' The actual year doesn't matter much.

Yeah, I could have fun with this.
is there some more numbers on the side of the block where the starter is?

I might swipe left on that Tinder pic.

I don't know what 'swipe left' means but it sounds, well, just weird.

I have never actually used Tinder, but I believe you swipe the picture left if you are not interested, and swipe right if you are interested. It's a speed "hook up" based on a picture.

8F20

Cast on June 20th, 1988

There should also be a partial VIN up on the rear China rail area

However, a Mustang 302 block will be cast E7tE. That appears to be an e1te block, which I believe is a truck 302 (not positive)

They put a partial VIN on the china rail? Pictures?

Transmission will have one too. Pass side front edge where it bolts to the bellhousing if a T5.

Deleted member 215073 · Oct 9, 2019

I'll have to look at my block I have on a stand. Supposedly it came out of a 1989 or 1990 Mustang.

I also just had my trans out and didn't notice any numbers, but I wasn't looking either.

What's the difference between the Truck block and the Mustang Block of the same year. Let's say 88 for this conversations sake?

General karthief · Oct 10, 2019

Blocks are blocks for the most part. Difference would be the internal parts, mostly pistons and cams.
Truck 5.0 engines had the 302 firing order and lower compression pistons.
any other differences or if I'm wrong will be noted by experienced members.

cturboaddict · Oct 10, 2019

Cam wouldn't concern me. If the pistons are subpar, maybe.

FastDriver · Oct 10, 2019

As long as you're doing this, do a 351W.

cturboaddict · Oct 10, 2019

Passing on the 351. Sticking with the 302 family. Dont like the fit in a 66 from what I've seen. Plus the proper headers that dont have to bashed to all hell are a bit steep.

E7TE – 1987, 302 Windsor small-block, 2-bolt mains

Mustang5L5 · Oct 14, 2019

I don’t think that’s a 7.

His block,

Vs my ‘88 block

Looks like a 1 to me

FoxChasis · Oct 16, 2019

It is a 1 but it is supposed to be a 7. Whom ever was in charge of setting up the engineering number on the blocks that day at the foundy picked a 1 instead of a 7. No an uncommon mistake.

cturboaddict · Oct 23, 2019

I thought the E1TE was a truck block... But, I'm still asking.
