Parts Identification

    Gary,


    Bob Mannel's Small block Ford book only shows casting numbers - so I'm not sure if this will help.


    '68 302 rods have a C8OE or C8OE-A cast into the neck.


    I didn't see any rods with a number like yours - they all are C#OE or C#AE.


    '63-64 HiPo 289 pistons would be marked with a C4OE 6110 ? casting number - the last digit probably varies by lot. Std 289 were cast C4AE 6110 ?. Casting number is down inside the bottom of the piston near the wrist pin area. I didn't see a C4OF casting.


    I hope this helps.

    Can someone tell me what engine the following parts go to:

    1. Rods 68AE-D

    2. -Pistons C4OF61104

    Gary - Tony (& Marv) list the following:

    1. Hipo Rods = C30Z-6200-C part no., C3AE-D casting no. (mine agree with this casting)

    2. Pistons = Casting no. C3OZ-6108-L. (Mine were C4-OE6116A before I replaced them with TRW L-2482F pistons. Could it be that our readings were transposed? Note the similarities below: E & F, 0 & 6, 4 & A:

    C4 OF61104

    C4 OE6116A

    Noel,


    Story behind this is I am in the process of buying these parts along with a block with caps. The block and caps appear OK according to the pictures I saw. I'm in one state and the parts are in another. So, I have to rely on pictures.


    What threw me a curve was the part numbers on the Rods and Pistons. I requested the seller check the numbers again and send them to me. I can see how it would be easy to transpose some numbers and letters, like you said. I think that is the case and all is good. In addition, I requested the number on the rear main. I am told this should be C3OE on a K code and C2OE on a standard 289. Thanks to Fred for giving me this info on the rear main.


    Thanks for your input and help,


    Gary
