Ford engine identification
Hi David,
Just remembered- if there are no recognized casting marks on the engine, the water jacket shape will give you a good approximation of the year of the engine. I assume you have the heads off if you have measured the bore. I refer you to Vanpelt sales website. If there are large triangular shaped holes between the centre cylinder bores it is a 1938 engine. If the top opening is triangular and the bottom two holes are trapezoidal it is a 1939-42 engine. If the top hole is triangular and the bottom two are large round holes it is a 1945-48 engine. This should narrow it down for you. See attached photo of two different types of head gaskets showing the openings described. Cheers,

Water jacket opening ID Ford Sidevalve V8
Hi David,
Attached photo shows the water jacket openings I mentioned in previous post. My '46 engines have the two large round bottom openings. Cheers,
