Engine Tag

    I don't see much discussion on the engine tag that is bolted to the intake manifold. Nothing in the HiPo book either. What do those numbers indicate? Mine reads:

    first line 289 65 5

    second line 4-K N 554 J.

    I am trying to research an engine tag also.

    1st line = 289 displacement 65 model year 5 level change

    2nd line = 4 calender year K October N engine number prefix 554 engine number J engine number suffix.

    In return for this info please tel me the build date of your car

    Thanks

    Engine tag decoding has been discussed here over the years. A lot of this detailed information now resides in the Archives in order to save "webspace" on the current pages. All inactive threads are sent to the Archives after three years. As a result, the majority of pages contained in this site now reside in the Archives.

    The "554" on the second line denotes a 64/65 K Code 289 High Performance Mustang with a manual transmission.
