Flathead Specifications How to Identify the Ford Flathead V8 Casting Number Split into two categories, 1948 and below and 1949 to 1954, the casting numbers are in different locations. They 1948 and below engines were manufactured in Canada, and the number is preceded by a "C." The number is located on the top of the bell-housing. On later models, it is located on the flange, where the bell housing bolts to the engine. The number is two digits, occasionally followed by a letter. Consulting a chart is necessary for code identification. Mercury and Ford Differences From the outside, Ford and Mercury differences cannot be made visually. On the forward crankshaft counterweight, the Mercury engine has a dimple located in the center, while the Ford does not. Also, Mercury has a longer stroke than the Ford engine, making it more desirable by auto restorers. Mercury engines were green from 1949 through 1951 and either green or tangerine in 1952 and 1953. The Ford models used these colors as well as blue and bronze. Other Considerations In 1948 and 1949, changes were made, including using 24 bolts to mount the heads to the engine, instead of studs and nuts. During these years, the bell housing was no longer directly cast with the block and was bolted on. These changes further identify the engine.

This engine can easily be identified by the location of the distributor, which is at the rear, on top of the block, next to the fuel pump and by the external water bypass tubes. The 8EQ engine displaced 337 Cubic Inches and developed 145 horsepower! http://www.telusplanet.net/public/bboogaar/engine.htm
