Here's my advice - no matter which springs you choose, pair them with Bilstein or Koni shock absorbers - set to suit. This is country-pack suspension - This was Pedders something, with shortened bump stops Stock ESP height -

I like technical books, that one looks like a good investment!

All the same bearings I would've thought? Maybe grab the part numbers off one of the bearings, and go from there?

That stuff looks very fancy! What rings did you go with?

Should be a good project! I'm interested to see where it's gone rusty.

Almost looks like a carby throttle plate screw or something? I'm sure I can see thread impressions... I like the engine parts holding jig!

A Ghia is a luxury vehicle, so my advice is to keep it quiet, maybe a superturbo (chambered) muffler, if you have to. Straight through exhausts on the non-turbo 6cyl's are terrible IMO, unless you're a P plater with a deaf-wish. Holden 304 EFI V8's on the other-hand, can sound fantastic.

Wow even standard, that's a massive bore size! I never knew 460 specs before.

How does one calculate the 4.420, from 060 thou?

Closing lines look nice and straight too!

All the engines down south here, seem to be expensive, for unknown sec/hand. What rust dip, does the guy use?

460 in the billy cart?

In my experience, XG's and XH's have a poor lock/unlock action, compared with XD-XF's. My panelvan benefited tremendously from just disassembling, cleaning and re-greasing the mechanisms. The difference was night and day.

Bearing date-code - 16/01/95.

Those old-school jack stands, are cool.

A Guide to Ford OHV Cylinder Head Casting Numbers By Greg Acosta April 20, 2018 While the aftermarket has done an exceptional job of creating performance cylinder heads for Ford’s line of V8 engines, sometimes you aren’t looking for an aftermarket cylinder head. If you’re performing a correct restoration or a budget build, sometimes an original FoMoCo cylinder head is what you seek, so no matter whether you’re scouring the internet or junkyard, the following Ford cylinder head casting numbers should help you figure out what you’re looking at and where it came from. Numbering Convention Ford’s part number convention generally follows the format of a four-digit casting code, followed by a four-digit basic part number, which will be “6090” for a cylinder head, followed by the revision version. Since it’s fairly obvious that you’re looking at a cylinder head, the important digits are the first four and last two, and in most cylinder heads those four to six digits are all that are cast into the head, anyway. The basic breakdown of the modern numbering convention (1959 and newer) is that the first digit is a letter and represents the decade in which the part was designed. A = 1940s, B = 1950s, C = 1960s, D = 1970s, E = 1980s, F = 1990s. The second digit will be a numeral, and will represent the year within that decade (i.e. C2 = 1962; E7 = 1987). The third digit is usually another letter, but can also be a numeral in rare cases, and it signifies the vehicle the part was designed for (i.e. S = Thunderbird; T=Truck). The fourth digit is the engineering division the part originated from, so most of the fourth digits will be “E” for “Engine” with a few exceptions. Here’s where you would find the casting number on a Windsor head. Here we have the venerable E7TE-PA 5.0L head. One thing to note, is that due to the general numbering scheme of Ford’s casting numbers, you can have the same major casting number, for two completely different applications. For example, there is also an E7TE big-block Ford cylinder head, with the revision identifier of “BD.” Engine Families This article covers a number of Ford V8 engine families. They are: Y-Block small-block: Produced in the US from 1954 until 1964, the Y-Block was the small-block replacement for the Flathead V8 and is where this article starts. Common factory displacements ranged from 239 cubic inches to 312 cubic inches. FE medium block: Derived from the “Ford-Edsel” name, the FE is bigger than a small-block, but smaller than a big-block, earning it the moniker of a “medium-block.” It was designed to be a replacement for the Y-Block in the 1958 Ford line. It persevered until 1978, and came from the factory in displacements ranging from 332 cubic inches up to 428 cubic inches. M-E-L big-block: The Ford MEL big-block was also introduced in 1958 to replace the heavier Y-Block applications. The MEL, which stood for “Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln” came in displacements ranging from 383 cubic inches to 462 cubic inches and lasted through the 1968 model year. Super Duty big-block: The Ford Super Duty big-block engine was a truck-specific big-block that was introduced in 1958 alongside the FE and MEL, and lasted through 1982. It came in 401 cubic-inch, 477 cubic-inch, and 534 cubic-inch variants and is much less common in the performance realm. Big-Block Ford: More correctly referred to as the Ford 385 engine—after the factory 3.85-inch crankshaft stroke—this is the engine referred to when someone references a big-block Ford, or BBF. It was debuted in 1968 and sold through 1997. The BBF came primarily in two sizes, the 429 cubic-inch and 460 cubic-inch versions, with a rare small-bore, 370-cube version in 1978. Cleveland small-block: The Ford 335 small-block family introduced in 1969, was referred to as the “Cleveland” engine, due to the fact that they were built in the Cleveland engine plant. They came in 351 cubic-inch and 400 cubic-inch variants, were known for their large ports and large, canted valves, and remained in production until 1982. Windsor small-block: The Ford Windsor small-block is the ubiquitous “small-block Ford” engine, with the most common variants the 302 and the 351 Windsor, the family ranged from 221 cubic inches to 351 cubic inches in displacement. Debuting in the 1962 model-year, its reign lasted until the following century. The last Windsor engine rolled off the line for the 2001 Ford Explorer. Boss 302 Cleveland/Windsor small-block hybrid: The Boss 302 engine was a 351 Cleveland cylinder head bolted onto a Windsor shortblock, making the first “Clevor” hybrid. Cylinder heads from a Boss 302 have slightly modified coolant passages to allow everything to mate up perfectly. The 351 Cleveland cylinder head offers larger ports, and valve sizes over its Windsor counterparts, along with the more advantageous canted valve configuration.

I stumbled upon an old Brake Booster rebuild tutorial thread, over on the Ford Australia Forums, and thought it well worthy of adding to our Archives... Here's a summary of the rubber components (with pricing), used in the below rebuild - VH2013 - Reaction Disc - $6.60 VH2015 - Front Seal - $5.41 VH2029 - Rear Seal - $26.40 VH2579 - Main Diaphragm - $31.33 VH2580 - Main Diaphragm - $39.60 VH2581 - Seal - $21.12 VH2582 - Seal - The complete XC/XD/XE brake booster assembly part no. is/was VH395 For further info, see the following link to another excellent rebuild tutorial we have, created by fellow OzFalcon member 'jca4'. Full credit for the following write-up, goes to Wayne (aka XC GXL on Ford Forums). _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Some of us live overseas with these beauties and when something goes wrong we either have to spend a truck load on postage (and sometimes extra TAX) or we improvise with what is available to get our cars back on the road. Well I had a brake booster failure a little while back and fortunately I had a decent spare however I looked into getting a spare sent over and the cost of a reconditioned one including postage was frightening. I was fortunate enough to meet a bloke in Wollongong before I left in the brake and clutch business as I got some bits and pieces for the XC before I left home. When the booster failed I rang him and he was kind enough to send me over all of the major parts to recondition an XC/XD/XE brake booster. Here is an exploded view showing the parts I replaced. and here are a few photos of the replacement parts I decided to try to tackle a rebuild although I have never done so before and was a little daunted by it initially like how to spilt it, replacing diaphragms etc, etc. Well I managed to overhaul 3 that I had which were knackered with success. So for all of you guys living overseas and those of you who want to overhaul your own booster this is how I did it. Firstly I made up a jig to enable me to split the booster as the top section needs to be twisted from the lower section and can take a bit of force. The jig looks a little Heath Robinson but it worked a treat for me. Once the top is split the M20 rod, which incidentally is 500mm long with a 13mm hole 70mm deep drilled into each end to enable the plate to not foul with the Rod and Valve Assy (Part no 2377), is wound back to enable the spring to be detensioned safely. This part is really necessary during reassembly as trying to hold the spring down while trying to locate the top to the bottom is difficult. Remove the Rod and Valve Assy (2377). This is the one from a 38 year old car and needs a good clean. This is from a 38 year old XC and was a little worse for wear. I only used WD40 and wire wool to clean all these parts. Disassembled. All that is needed for this is a strip down, clean and reassemble. Make sure that the little piston is removed and cleaned and the reaction disc (Part No 2414 from drawing and replacement part no VH2013) replaced and that the piston is free to move. Once this is split the main diaphragm assembly can be removed from the housings. Again this takes a bit of force as the whole assembly needs to be pushed from the lower seal. This is how they look once removed. Any wonder the brakes were a little odd! To remove the pedal to booster assemble simply remove the circlip and the whole rod pushes out. To remove the diaphragms you will need a small flat blunt screwdriver as the diaphragms are sandwiched between the Valve Body (Part No 2391) and the Diaphragm Plates (Part No’s 2395A, 2395B and 2395C). Take note of the disassemble sequence although the assembly can only go one way when reassembling. here is the assembly without the diaphragms Remove the rear seal from the main housing. This is not shown clearly on the Ford exploded view but is replacement part No VH2029. I then cleaned the whole lot up with wire wool, soapy water and some fine wet and dry. Replace all the diaphragms (replacement part No’s 2A365B = 2579 and 2A365A = 2588). This requires a little silicone grease around the inner lip of the diaphragm and then just force (using hands only) the diaphragm between the diaphragm plate and the Valve Body. It takes some effort but goes eventually. Do this for both Diapragms. Make sure that the diaphragm 2A365B (2579) is pushed up around the outer lip on 2395B as this allows the vacuum to be formed when in use. This is a final assembled unit. Also when the whole assembly is put back into the main housing make sure that the top diaphragms 2A365A is (2588) outer edge is below the retaining indents to enable a seal between the housing and the diaphragm plate 2395B. I then just put the whole part assembly back into the jig compressed the top housing and spring and then tapped the top cover around using a soft hammer and the plate that I made to go over the master cylinder mounting studs. I managed to do one in about 1 hour including cleaning. It is a pretty simple job really if you have the right set up. If there is anything I didn't describe well please let me know and I'll only be too happy to help where I can. Wayne

All have same mounting flange, which is the same as the 3 speed box except for one bolt. Valiant has longer, finer input shaft, same output I think. Valiant has a short shifter shaft with a dogleg intermediate rod to clear the Valiant crossmember. Valiant has 2.84 first gear, so does cortina. Cortina has foward mounted shifter and short shift shaft with no intermediate shaft, extension housing is different to cater for this. Falcons all have rear mounted shifter and long shift shaft with no intermediate shaft. There are several ratio sets in falcons, from 2.54 first gear fitted to 351s, to 3.47 on xf type sixes.

Valiant has 23 spline input shaft which is longer than the Falcon/Cortina box Valiant has different extension housing with different mounting and shifter to Ford types. P76 single rail is very similar to Valiant type, not seen many so couldn't say exactly what the differences are, if any. Repair kits should be the same, but you'd need to be a bit careful when its comes to extension housing output shaft seal. As far as I know all Valiants had same 2.84 first gear ratio gear-set. Falcons and Cortinas have quite a few gear-sets, I know of - 2.54 first gear (for 351s) also highest torque handing because of larger input gear. 2.84 first gear seen in Cortina six 3.06 first gear in 302s and six's until XE 3.54 first gear in later sixes.

Your Falcon is stalling/dieing or sputtering when hot but runs when it cools off. This can be caused by a faulty TFI and the biggest culprits are heat. Another culprit can be a wire grounding out. Problematic TFI's can give off codes 14 (PIP) and 18 (SPOUT).o To start with, here are some links you may find helpful: TFI Worksheet (Strongly recommend you print this worksheet) TFI Remote Mounting Ford TFI Module Litigation Settlement Quick Checks Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) pertaining to the ignition system: TFI Stall NO Start - TFI Module Diagnosis and Sealing: This bulletin addresses loss of module ground due to salt and moisture entering a module mounting screw. TFI Engine NO Start/Stall at Idle - New Ignition Module: This TSB talks about an internal short-circuit in some model TFI modules. Driveability Concerns - Moist EEC-IV Connectors: This bulletin asks the tech to check for unsealed EEC-IV connectors and check for moisture or corrosion. Wiring: Always check your wiring. Here is a picture of SPOUT (Spark Output signal) wire that was grounding out. The yellow spark output signal wire is without a section of insulation. This section happens to run through a shield ground that provided a convenient ground source for the SPOUT signal. Just the right bump in the road or vibration from the engine would provide a path of lesser resistance for the SPOUT signal, killing the coil trigger. This is where the TFI Modile plugs in to the distributor to get the PIP signal. Notice the defective insulation. Heat Is Your Enemy!: The top three leads (for PIP signal) can lose continuity with the back plate (ground) on the module when the unit is hot. You should consider a remote mounted TFI. If your TFI is failing from heat, it can give off computer codes 14 (PIP) and 18 (SPOUT). General Information The TFI-IV distributor ignition system consists of the following components: Thick Film Ignition (TFI) modules Distributor Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor Ignition coil The distributor ignition system designed by Ford has two distinct configurations. The first configuration is known as the distributor mounted system, because the TFI is mounted directly on the distributor housing. The second configuration is known as a remote mount system, since the TFI is mounted on the engine or front fender apron. The distributor used by this system is sealed and houses the CMP sensor. The distributor does not utilize vacuum or centrifugal advance mechanisms; the ignition timing is automatically controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the TFI. Ford calls this electronic ignition the Thick Film Integrated-IV (TFI-IV) ignition system. The TFI module is also known as the Ignition Control Module (ICM) which reports engine position and rpm to the PCM. The PCM then determines the proper spark timing and advance, and returns a reference signal to tell the TFI module to switch the coil, thereby by creating a spark. The PCM used on these vehicles is referred to by Ford as the Electronic Engine Control-IV (EEC-IV) module. System Operation The CMP sensor, housed inside the distributor, responds to a rotating metallic shutter mounted on the distributor shaft. This rotating shutter produces a digital Profile Ignition Pick-up (PIP) signal, which is used by the PCM and TFI to provide base timing information, determine engine speed (rpm) and crankshaft position. The distributor shaft rotates at one-half crankshaft speed, therefore the shutter rotates once for every two crankshaft revolutions. The TFI functions in either one of two modes: push start or Computer Controlled Dwell (CCD). The push start mode allows for increased dwell, or coil on time, when starting the engine. During this mode, the TFI determines when to turn on the ignition coil based on engine speed information. The coil is turned off, thereby firing, whenever a rising edge of a SPark OUTput (SPOUT) signal is received. The SPOUT signal is generated by the PCM, and provides spark timing information to the TFI. During the push start mode, the SPOUT signal only indicates the timing for coil firing; the falling edge of the SPOUT signal is ignored. Despite the name, the push start mode is also enabled during engine starting with the ignition key. Do not attempt to push start a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. The rotary armature has open areas called windows and tabs called vanes The vane interrupts the magnetic field passing through the Hall effect device During the CCD mode, both edges of the SPOUT signal are utilized. The leading edge of the SPOUT signal is used by the ICM in the same manner as during the push start mode. The falling edge of the signal is generated to control the timing for turning the ignition coil on (the TFI no longer controls this function as during the push start mode). During the CCD mode, the coil on time, or dwell, is entirely controlled by the PCM through the SPOUT signal. In the event that the SPOUT signal from the PCM is disrupted, the TFI will use the PIP signal from the CMP to fire the ignition coil, which results in a fixed spark angle and dwell. Diagnosis & Testing Service Precautions Always turn the key OFF and isolate both ends of a circuit whenever testing for shorts or continuity. Never measure voltage or resistance directly at the processor connector. Always disconnect solenoids and switches from the harness before measuring for continuity, resistance or energizing by way of a 8-volt source. When disconnecting connectors, inspect for damaged or pushed-out pins, corrosion, loose wires, etc. Service if required. Preliminary Checks Visually inspect the engine compartment to ensure that all vacuum lines and spark plug wires are properly routed and securely connected. Examine all wiring harness and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or broken conditions. Ensure that the TFI is securely fastened to the front fender apron. Be certain that the battery is fully charged and that all accessories are OFF during the diagnosis. Test Procedures Perform the test procedures in the order in which they are presented here. Ignition Coil Secondary Voltage Test Coil Voltage Test #1 - Crank Mode 1 - Connect a spark tester between the ignition coil wire and a good engine ground. 2 - Crank the engine and check for spark at the tester. 3 - Turn the ignition switch OFF. 4 - If no spark occurs, check the following: a. Inspect the ignition coil for damage or carbon tracking. b. Check that the distributor shaft is rotating when the engine is being cranked. c. If the results in Steps a and b are okay, go to Test #4. 5 - If a spark did occur, check the distributor cap and rotor for damage or carbon tracking. Go to the Coil Voltage Test #2. Coil Voltage Test #2 - Run Mode 1 - Fully apply the parking brake. Place the gear shift lever in Neutral (manual transmission) or Park (automatic transmission). CAUTION - Failure to perform this step may result in the vehicle moving when the starter is subsequently engaged during the test. 2 - Disconnect the S terminal wire at the starter relay. Attach a remote starter switch. 3 - Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position. 4 - Using the remote starter switch, crank the engine and check for spark. 5 - Turn the ignition switch OFF. 6 - If no spark occurred, the problem lies with the wiring harness. Inspect the wiring harness for short circuits, open circuits and other defects. Go to Test #3. 7 - If a spark did occur, the problem is not in the ignition system. Wiring Harness Test #3 - Voltage Check 1 - Separate wiring harness connector from ignition module. Inspect for dirt, corrosion and damage. NOTE: Push connector tabs to separate. 2 - Verify that the wire to the S terminal of starter relay is disconnected. 3 - Attach negative (-) VOM lead to distributor base. 4 - Measure battery voltage. 5 - Following the appropriate table below, measure connector terminal voltage by attaching VOM to small straight pin inserted into connector terminal and turning ignition switch to position shown. CAUTION - Do not allow straight pin to contact electrical ground. TFI Without CCD Connector Terminal Wire / Circuit Ignition Switch Test Position #3 Run Circuit Run and Start #4 Start Circuit Start TFI With CCD Connector Terminal Wire / Circuit Ignition Switch Test Position #3 Run Circuit Run and Start 6 - Turn ignition switch to Off position. 7 - Remove straight pin. 8 - Reconnect wire to S terminal of starter relay. 9 - Was the value at least 90 percent of battery voltage in each case? a. - If yes, replace TFI module. b. - If no then: 1 - Inspect for faults in wiring harness and connectors. 2 - Check for damaged or worn ignition switch. Distributor Hall Effect Test #4 1 - Place the transmission shift lever in the Park position (A/T) or Neutral (M/T) position and set the parking brake. CAUTION - Failure to perform this step may result in the vehicle moving when the starter is subsequently engaged during the test. 2 - Disconnect the harness connector from the TFI module and connect the TFI tester. 3 - Connect the red lead from the tester to the (+) positive side of the battery. 4 - Disconnect the wire at the S terminal of the starter relay and attach remote starter switch. 5 - Crank the engine using the remote starter switch and note the status of the two LED lamps. 6 - Remove the tester and remote starter switch. 7 - Reconnect the wire to the starter relay and the connector to the TFI. 8 - Did the PIP light blink? a. - If Yes, go to Test #6. b. - If No, remove distributor cap and verify rotation. If OK, go to Test #5. TFI Module Resistance Test #5 1 - Remove the TFI from the distributor or the front fender apron. 2 - Measure the resistance between the TFI terminals as shown below: a. - GND-PIP IN: should be greater than 60 ohms. b. - PIP PWR-PIP IN: should be less than 2,000 ohms. c. - PIP PWR-TFI PWR: should be less than 200 ohms. d. - GND-IGN GND: should be less than 2 ohms. e. - PIP IN-PIP: should be less than 200 ohms. 3 - If any of these checks failed, replace the TFI with a new one. TFI Module Test #6 1 - Use status of Tach light from Test #4. If Yes then go to Test #7. 2 - Did the Tach light blink? If No, replace TFI module and check for spark using the method described in Test #1. If spark was not present, replace the coil also. System Test #7 1 - Disconnect the pin-in-line connector near the TFI. 2 - Crank the engine 3 - Turn the ignition switch OFF. 4 - If a spark did occur, check the PIP and ignition ground wires for continuity. If okay, the problem is not in the ignition system. 5 - If no spark occurs, check the voltage at the positive (+) terminal of the ignition coil with the ignition switch in RUN. 6 - If the reading is not within battery voltage, check for a worn or damaged ignition switch. 7 - If the reading is within battery voltage, check for faults in the wiring between the coil and TFI module terminal No. 2 or any additional wiring or components connected to that circuit. Spark Timing Advance Test #8 Spark timing advance is controlled by the EEC system. This procedure checks the capability of the ignition module to receive the spark timing command from the EEC module. The use of a volt/ohmmeter is required. 1 - Turn the ignition switch OFF. 2 - Disconnect the pin-in-line connector (SPOUT connector) near the TFI module. 3 - Start the engine and measure the voltage, at idle, from the SPOUT connector to the distributor base. The reading should equal battery voltage. 4 - If the result is okay, the problem lies within the EEC-IV system. 5 - If the result was not satisfactory, separate the wiring harness connector from the ignition module. Check for damage, corrosion or dirt. Service as necessary. 6 - Measure the resistance between terminal No. 1 and the pin-in-line connector. This test is done at the ignition module connector only. The reading should be less than 1 ohms. 7 - If the reading is okay, replace the TFI module. 8 - If the result was not satisfactory, service the wiring between the pin inline connector and the TFI connector. Our Old Testing Procedure STEP 1 Determine if the engine is getting fuel. If injector is fueling chances are the TFI electronics are ok. If the electronics fail the fuel system shuts down except for about 20 seconds of start of cranking. If no fueling or if it quits after 20 seconds of cranking go to step 2. STEP 2 Check for spark at one of the spark plugs. If spark is found, you may have a fuel system problem. If spark is not found, check for spark at the coil wire. If you have spark, you may have a bad rotor, cap, or wires. If you still have no spark, unplug the harness at the TFI module. With key off, there should be no voltage present at any terminals of the harness. With key in the run position there should be voltage at the "TFI POWER RUN" and the "TACH IDM (COIL NEGATIVE)" terminals. Pull the small wire off the starter solenoid so engine will not crank. Have an assistant try to crank the engine. There should be voltage at "TFI POWER RUN, TFI POWER CRANK (START SIGNAL IN), and TACH IDM (COIL NEGATIVE)" terminals. If there is not voltages present, there is a possible wiring problem. If voltages are ok, go to step 3. STEP 3 With coil wire removed to watch for spark, place ignition key in the run position. Momentarily touch a jumper wire from "TACH IDM (COIL NEGATIVE)" terminal of the harness to a good ground. Spark should jump every time the jumper is grounded. Do not ground the jumper for more that a couple of seconds. If no spark is found, make sure that with the key in the run position there is voltage at one of the coil terminals. If voltage is present, the coil may be bad, go to step 4. If spark is found, the problem may be the TFI module or the PIP (profile ignition pickup or reluctor in the distributor) so go to step 5. STEP 4 We should now test the coil. Use an ohm meter and probe the resistance of the two small terminals, and you should find 0.3 to 1.0 ohm. If the resistance is not ok, it may be a bad coil. If the resistance is ok, probe one small terminal and the coil wire terminal. Resistance should be 8000 to 11,500 ohms. If the resistance is not ok, replace coil. If the resistance is ok, go to step 5. STEP 5 Testing the pickup coil (PIP) in the distributor is not an easy task, and best to test the TFI module first, then replace the pickup coil (PIP) if the TFI module tests ok. I have seen very few pickup coils on Ford TFI systems go bad. Test the TFI module according to the chart below. These values may be valid only on an OEM module, but may apply to aftermarket.

The VIN on the engine or car will be 6 characters long, for example, JG63UM or AL1JYM. These are decoded as follows; First character = Product source. A = USA, C = UK, J = Australia and S and U = Japan. Second character = Assembly plant. G = Broadmeadows - (Passenger), L = Broadmeadows – (Truck), H = Brisbane and K = Sydney 3rd & 4th characters = Body Series See below 5th & 6th characters = year and month of production respectively Therefore; A = USA source L = Assembled at Broadmeadows Truck plant 1J = F100 4x2 Y = 1981 M = March F-Series Body Codes 1J = F100 4x2 4K = F100 4x4 1T = F100 Bronco 2J = F250 3J = F350 5K = F350 4x4 4J = F500 6J = F600 1K = F700 2K = F750 3K = F800 and F8000 Now onto the engines. The engine codes for the F series trucks are unique and not linked to the passenger vehicles and are also relevant to the years of manufacture. Therefore, for the following years, the codes apply as follows; 1970 Engine D = 4.0 litre (240 CID petrol 6 cylinder) E = 4.9 litre (300 CID petrol 6 cylinder) T = 5.4 litre (330 CID petrol 8 cylinder) Transmission 4 = 4 speed 5 = 5 speed 1971 Same as above except for; Transmission 3 = 3 speed column shift B = 3 speed floor shift automatic 1972 Same as above 1973 Engine D = 4.0 litre (240 CID petrol 6 cylinder) E = 4.9 litre (300 CID petrol 6 cylinder) Transmission 4 = 4 speed B = 3 speed floor shift automatic 1974 (US Drive line) Engine L = 4.0 litre (240 CID petrol 6 cylinder) E = 4.9 litre (300 CID petrol 6 cylinder) Transmission L = 4 speed manual floor shift B = 3 speed floor shift automatic 1974 (Local Drive line) Engine L = 4.0 litre (250 CID petrol 6 cylinder) Y = 4.9 litre (302 CID petrol 8 cylinder) Transmission L = 4 speed manual floor shift R = 3 speed automatic 1975 Same as above except for; Engine E = 4.9 litre (300 CID petrol 6 cylinder) 1976 Engine L = 4.0 litre (250 CID petrol 6 cylinder) Y = 4.9 litre (302 CID petrol 8 cylinder) E = 4.9 litre (300 CID petrol 6 cylinder) Transmission L = 4 speed manual floor shift R = 3 speed automatic 1977 Same as above except for the 300 CID engine is no longer available 1978 Engine B = 5.8 litre (Pre-ADR 36) C = 5.8 litre (Post ADR 36) Y = 4.9 litre (2 wheel drive only) X = 4.9 litre (4 wheel drive only) L = 4.1 litre (Pre-ADR 36) H = 4.1 litre (Post ADR 36) Transmission L = 4 speed manual floor shift R = 3 speed Cruisomatic column shift 1979 & 1980 Same as above 1981 and onwards Engine W = 4.1 litre 6 cylinder C = 5.8 litre 8 cylinder (carburetor version) T = 5.0 litre (fuel injected) Transmission L = 4 speed manual floor shift R = 3 speed Cruisomatic column shift Now back to the model code. I will start with the easy ones first being the 1978 to 1981 F series trucks. As shown above, the ute in question had a model code of 62112 and it is this number that can be used in conjunction with the following code breaker to find out what you have. Model Digits 1 & 2 = Product line (more on this later!) Digit 3 = Year of manufacture (actually applies to all F series trucks) Digit 4 = Body style 1 – F100 Chassis Cab 2 – F100/250 Style Side Body 3 – F100 Ambulance and F350 Chassis cab Digit 5 = Series 1 – F100 Short Wheel Base 2 – F100 Long Wheel Base of F250 3 – F350 Short Wheel Base 4 – F350 Long Wheel Base So from the above model code of 62112, this equates to; F100 S-Cab, 1981 build year, F100 Chassis Cab, F100 Long Wheel Base of F250. Now onto the pre 1978 model codes. According to the book, there are heaps of model codes, especially so for the years of 1970 through to 1972 as the codes covered the F100 all the way up to the F700. Therefore, I am only going to cover a year that is more applicable, namely 1976. 62611 – F100A C.Cab 2972 mm W/B 2586 kg GVM 62612 – F100A S.Cab 3379 mm W/B 2586 kg GVM 62621 – F100A S.Box 2972 mm W/B 2586 kg GVM 62622 – F100A S.Box 3379 mm W/B 2586 kg GVM 62632 – F100A Ambulance 3379 mm W/B 2717 kg GVM 74611 – F250A 2WD C.Cab 3379 mm W/B 3448 kg GVM 74612 – F250A 2WD S.Box 3379 mm W/B 3448 kg GVM 73613 – F250A 4WD C.Cab 3379 mm W/B 3493 kg GVM 73614 – F250A 4WD S.Box 3379 mm W/B 3493 kg GVM 74631 – F350A C.Cab 3480 mm W/B 4536 kg GVM 74632 – F350A C.Cab 4089 mm W/B 4536 kg GVM As you can see, the two first numbers (Product Line) change according to the type of vehicle required.
