Serial no. location on FMS 392 (351W)...?

SunDude · #1 (**permalink**) 07-20-2011, 02:12 PM

Can anyone tell me where to find the serial number on my 392 (351W) crate motor from Ford Racing? That is, where is it stamped?

Can I see/read it from above, just by opening the hood, or will I need to get under the car to see it?

Thanks.

It's a small metal tag (square) that is bonded to the block on the passenger side below the head.

Above the stater

No, that is the block casting number... commonly entered as a serial number which results in all kinds of police anti-theft units making you sweat when trying to register it. Seeing as how it is a part number and not a unique serial number.

Thanks Jay.

I took a look, but can't see the tag from above. Wonder if it's visible from below, if I get the car up on a hoist.

I tried taking some pictures using my digital camera, but the space is too tight, the lens is too close and the images are unfocused.

Maybe I can get my daughter to read it using a mirror and her young eyes.

Easier from below if it is still there.

I've got a FMS 392 and it is pretty easy to see the number from below, passenger side.
