67 GT500 engine id decal

[Bob Gaines]

just playing around, so if these were on a 1 inch tall roll they might look something like this??

(Will post on the SB thread of the similar topic too)

I'll take a couple 404 decals when someone gets them made.  Is there any decision on a possible different code for a thermactor engines by having the "E" prefix on the decal?  Or simply just not enough evidence to say it "probably" was that way, based on other Ford engine ID numbers.

I am curious where the 66-67 427 Fairlane engine id decal with transistor ignition label in reply 49 came from and who made it ? I assume it is a reproduction given it is seperate from a engine and its pristine condition.

Agreed. Start another thread. I like the idea that the search function SHOULD act like an encyclopedia of information here on such topics but that seems to be just false hope?

I decided to let my manifold be the determining factor. Just a trace of overspray here and there. Never been blasted. It's apparently an exception rather then the rule but I don't have the heart to over do it like that one.

Does anyone have archival access or higher resolution versions of these pictures with FE engine paper labels?

D, maybe.  Initial engine timing info, hard to see.

[shelbydoug]

OOO! I see a D but why do they need to put the plant ID on the label? Or the timing?

The engine is already built to a certain spec. They just need to know which is the right one to install into the engine.

The other thing is we have already seen a difference in label configuration with different engines.

That label apparently maybe is correct original to the 427, the 390 but we still can't confirm if it's done the same way with the 67 Shelby 428's?


I think that we need at least one complete original '67 GT500 label to compare to ? There has to be at least one that has survived?

Let's talk about this metal tag from the RK Motors listing for 67400F2A01983.

A 1966 model year 410 numerical id 428 engine dated October 1965.

Nothing really to discuss, clearly not the correct metal engine ID tag for a 1967 GT 500, but rather a 1966 Galaxie more than likely.

Since the metal tags for 2490 2940 and 1847 (representing "late" and "mid") have been posted to this thread, I will add a couple "early" cars.

A better picture of 245's metal engine tag is currently on eBay.

  404 A01 for manual transmission, no EECS.
E 404 A01 for manual transmission, with EECS.

  405 A01 for automatic transmission, no EECS.
E 405 A01 for automatic transmission, with EECS.

EECS = Engine Emission Control System, aka Thermactor.

The attached picture of the E 404 A01 engine tag was posted on the Shelby Research Group Facebook page by member Randy Atha.
