The early model 429-460's had a ID tag very similar to a Ford 9" ID tag, here:
located under the front DS intake bolt, next to the ignition coil mounting location. I found a couple of these engines when pulling a set of DOVE-C and C8SE 429-460 heads. This shows where it would be located on an early model Ford truck with FE engine: The newer models('72 or '73 and up) used the valve cover sticker as the engines ID/VIN for the vehicle that it is installed into. Hope this helps. The block, head, intake/exhaust manifold numbers aren't VIN numbers per se, only date code and casting/production numbers. There are many, many big block parts with D_VE casting numbers used for Ford/Mercury intermediate engine parts, even though the "V" designates the parts where produced for a Lincoln.

Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires. No matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere, is tired of her sh*t. Beauty is skin deep, ugliness goes clear to the bone. |

Thanks Todd, I know it's a 460 but was trying to determine if it's my Torino's original engine.

The partial VIN's are located on the drivers side, rear of the block, just underneath the cylinder head.
There is a small flat pad there where they stamp the partial VIN on. It will have the year, the plant, and the consecutive vehicle number only. The attached example is a 70 429 block from Lorian, and because the first digit starts with a "5", it was used in a Mercury, Lorian was an "Intermediate" facility so it most likely was in a Montego or Cyclone I believe.
