V8K875DA9431AA i took this number off the exhaust manifold of my engine. what does it mean and does it tell me what the engine is out of?? if it doesn't where do i find the number that does tell me this??i also got this one off my car but just can't work out what the L means

I have had a look at this site http://www.falcongt.com.au/ID.html and cannot seem to find where 'L' fits in. My advice would be to email them and ask.

BTW, what type of car do you have??

it wouldn't be a May '67 Falcon 500 wagon would it???

I know that H is the brisbane plant, maybe it was made in Sydney????

xr wagon

yeah it is. the engine i bought seperately and i would like to know what that is out of how do i figure that out???

mutlley

codes are as follows, i would check the first letters again, it should be a JG number, 31 is falcon 500 wagon, G stands for 1967, and L stands for May of that year. The only other code i know of is JH for cars produced in Queensland, as previously stated.

mutley do you have the codes for the later model V8s like say the XD onwards?

mutlley

what specifically did you want to know?

XC_GS_351

From memory the only other plant in Australia making Fords in the 60s/70s aside from Broadmeadows (JG) and Eagle Farm (JH) was Homebush in Sydney.

In '66 or '67 they even assembled some Mustangs at Homebush using part from the Falcon of the day. So it is probably a Sydnet car.
