WHILE SURFING THE WEB, I FINALY FOUND A SITE THAT  WAS ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT ENGINE I HAD OUT OF THE MUSTANG.  CHRIS AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS A DIFFERENT THAN THE ENGINE OUT OF THE TBIRD, BUT JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STADARD AND HO MOTORS.  BOY WERE WE WRONG.    



AS I PREVIOUSLY STATED THE CODE READS

"D4AE - 6015 - AA  8 "  WITH A DATE OF  5C18

6015 IS THE CODE FOR ENGINE
D - IS THE DECADE OF MANUFACTURE = 1970
4 - IS THE YEAR OF THE DECADE  = 74
A - IS THE CAR LINE = GALAXIE
E =  ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT = ENGINE

DATE OF MAUNFACTURE OF THE ENGINE
5 - YEAR OF THE DECADE = 75
C - MONTH OF THE YEAR = MARCH
18 - DAY OF THE MONTH = 18TH

THIS ENGINE WAS CAST ON 3/18/1975


THIS STILL DOES NOT TELL US THE SIZE OF THE ENGINE AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS A 302.  

FROM THIS WEBSITE ( http://raceabilene.com/kelly/hotrod/index.html ) WE WERE ABLE TO USE HIS REFERENCE SECTION AND LOOK UP OUR ENGINE.  I LOOKED THROUGH ALL OF THE 302's AND DID NOT SEE THE ENGINE CODE SO I KEPT GOING.  I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THE ENGINE WAS IN FACT A 351

HOLLY "E36 M3"
WE HAVE A 5.8 LITER, 351(WINDSOR) CUBIC INCH ENGINE THAT IS TO BE SHOVED INTO THE FENDERS OF A 1900 POUND PINTO.  

UNFORTUNATELY WE WILL NEED TO BUY SOME NEW PARTS, BUT NOT TOO MANY.  

WE WILL NEED A REBUILD KIT AND A NEW INTAKE.  ALL OF THE OTHER PARTS WE HAVE PURCHASED WILL WORK ON THIS ENGINE.  

WORK WILL CONTINUE ON THE CAR IN A FEW WEEKS WHEN I GET ALL OF THE PROPER PARTS AND HAVE TIME.  WITH THE MOVE TO THE NEW HOME, THE CAR HAS UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO SIT WHILE THE HONEY DO LIST IS TAKEN CARE OF.  

NOW, WHAT IS THE TRANSMISSION
STANDARD TOP LOADER (OUT OF THE GALAXIE) OR A SROD(OUT OF THE MUSTANG)  PLEASE SAY MUSTANG..........
