ID'ing 26 pallets of NOS/old parts

[tom406]

The Ford stuff will have casting/part numbers configured with a letter and a numeral as the first two characters, and this will help you ID when the part was designed/used.
B=1950's
C=1960's
D=1970's
E=1980's

The number next to it will be the year, ie "C7AE-9425-A" is a 1967 dual four intake for medium riser 427's. A 1970 Boss 302 block will have a "D0..." casting number, and so on. (Note: MANY Ford FE blocks have "427" cast into them, including many 352's and 390's, so don't get too excited!) Once you get a handle on what kind of Ford stuff you have and the era its from, I can help you ID stuff or let you know what books to reference.

Good luck!
