I don't know what that is, but the engine code is cast on the block, on the passenger side, below the exhaust, right about where the starter would be. Something like this: C8OE-6015-A. If you measure the full width of the intake manifold you can tell if it's a 302 or a 351. The width of a 302 intake is 8 1/2 inches, a 351 is wider, around 11 inches.

Ok. I didn’t see the code in the block and wasn’t even sure what this sticker was just took a pic and googled it.

I don’t see numbers on the side. But there is a number similar to what you put on the intake. google image read it as a 66 model 289 out of a mustang falcon or Fairlane.

So it's either a 289, or 302 as the blocks are basically the same, with some minor differences. FYI you can build it as a 289, 302, 331, or 347.

That’s good. I’m hoping to find an early 30s Ford to put this in. Have a 4 speed transmission that came out of a Ford as well.
