Try searching the threads, I seem to remember a post explaining what all of the numbers in your vin stand for. The original thread was about build dates, I hope this helps.

Okay, I guess I should have been more explicit. The 8th digit is the engine code. I went to Ford Fleet and entered my VIN. It came back with a 4.0 in my 05 GT. I can assure everyone it does in fact have a 4.6.
I was just wondering what code anyone else has for the 8th digit.
I'm guessing the VIN finder is incorrect. Has anyone tried their VIN?

Yes, it has been used by many people on the forums and is very inconsistent. It shows I have a 4.0 as well. Fortunately, I am able to completely disagree with their results I love my GT
