Where exactly is the engine number on a cosworth 4x4 engine block? and how many letters/numbers is it?

I can not go by chassis number as the engine is a second hand item

Also is there anyway to tell if it is a sapphire 4x4 200 block or an escort cosworth 200 block just by looking?

Thanks
Marc

 

Usually found above the water pump unless its a new block.

 

Only possibly the build number will give you an idea. Will sort a pic in a mo.

 

5 numbers hope that helps

 

Thanks mate, I have no number on my block in that location though

 

Probably a new block my other one has no numbers.
is there any on the exhaust side of block?

It should run along the bottom of the block same side as the 200 stamp

 

Above is also correct along with numbers sometimes stamped by the gearbox mounting lug. And on the lug would be engine code as per pinto ie N5A for example which was a 205 injection pinto.

These are all the numbers I can see at the moment, going to have a closer look later



2222

C8S1A

V90HM6015AB

Any ideas?

Thanks

The number starting v90 is most likely to be the actual part number for the block

The actual engine number should be stamped on the o/s of the engine on a flat area right of where it has the raised 200 letters
And slightly behind and above the alternator mounting , if this is clear of any markings then you most likely have a new block as said already

The four 2's are relative to piston sizing as there is four choices 1 to 4
ie an engine could have 4112 indicating the actual piston used in each bore
Ford ask for this info when ordering pistons
