I know this topic has been adressed before but I cannot find the link.

I am looking to find the details of my engine block:

Ford 302 Short block (believe Mexican block)
Serial 1ZM6015AA2063



Anyone who can help me on getting link and/or info on block ?

Mexican Block 302. Has it got "Hencho en Mexico" in the lifter valley?

Fred,
If you look at the timing chain area on the block it should have two bosses protruding frontwards either side. The number is a block from the Mustang line and is alleged to have a higher nickel content than an ordinary block. The deck height should be 8.206

D=1970 decade
1=one, so block is 1971.
Z=Mustang Carline
M=Mexico or Performance
This is a good block.
Old Mexican blocks bored 060 have been know to make 250-300 dollars on ebay!

BTW I also have one.

This is what I was looking for and confirms my notes, many thanks!

I remember there is a website (from Ford?) where I found the info.
Do you know this site?


Great GT40s.com community!
