Hey guys! 😊👋
I have a mustang 71 convertible. I got it a few years back, it needed to have some engine parts changed and fixed immediately. I did so with my mechanic, well mostly him 😉 It runs super great now, starts instantly and everything’s just fine.
But we are discussing what type of engine it really is as fx the firing order is different than a 302 that comes with the 1971 convertible originally. So, engine/ or parts has most likely been changed over the years.
Surely, the plate with coding on the block is scratched, so that’s a no show. I was able to find other codes here and there on the different engine parts. I will post them in this thread.
On the corners next to the headers I have “12” and “S” for example. I know Cleveland uses “2” and “4” on these corners to indicate valves. Also I find “Z” next to “CP” on the block top. That’s Cleveland Plant right, but the “Z”?
For info, It has a 289 Edelbrock performer intake and Edelbrock carburetor.
I posted the overview of my engine, any specifics you guys would like I can try to find them, take photos and post them!
Any help would be highly appreciated 😃🙌
Best regards
