FW340sP340469 - this is the engine serial number. (Not to be confused with the VIN number)

It decodes like this;

F - Series (model year) 1970

W - Windsor, Ontario engine assembly plant

340 - 340 cid

s - Special, T/A block in this case.

P - Premium fuel only

340469 - two numbers missing, can you double check or add a photo?



The casting date is the date the block was cast.

The other number is the casting number for the T/A block.

On the passenger side of the block, down low is a flat pad. What are the numbers on it?
