Fred,
In your expertise, what is typical HiPo engine dates in relation to the kar's build date? Are we talking a couple weeks preceding the kar's build date or a couple months?

You realize there are a lot of original K codes that did not have a VIN code stamped on engine or trans.
You are speculating unless you have any original source documents from Ford saying K-code engines were not stamped. I'd recommend not perpetuating something that you cannot prove, although I acknowledge it is likely true but I never claim it to be fact. Do you have a mismatched vin you'd like to enter, warwick?
Hi IJetman,
I ran your vin in my spreadsheet and have NOT ran across this vin before. I entered your vin and contact info and if I ever run across your engine or transmission I will be sure to reach out to you. Thank you for sharing!
Dearborn reset the unit numbers at 250001 for '65 production, which included the introduction of the fastback body. The 102100 unit number is most likely incorrect or a fake stamp.
It's possible for the "F" to look like an "R" which may have been the mistake of the person selling it on ebay in 2013. But you are correct, I don't have any other 5F09K vins in my database that have a "1" after the "K".
Display MoreHey Evan,
My Father purchased the engine complete back in the early to mid 80's.
The car it was removed from was supposedly so bad it was sent to the crusher.
We never actually saw the car but years later someone contacted the guy we got the engine from inquiring about it.
Where might I find this info you are referring to?
Thanks!
I have a spreadsheet of over 300 vins I've documented over the last several years which began as an effort to find my original motor and help others find their original drive trains. If you have a vin stamped block or engine that does not match the vin stamp on your apron I'd like to document it in my spreadsheet. That way if anyone ever comes looking for it I can have them contact you. You can also post it on the "lost and found" page on this website. THis will help anyone searching for it to contact you. It's a long shot but anything is possible.
I have information on this drivetrain.
