how do i find out what motor is in my bronco and what year it is from thanks for any help Dan
need the numbers off heads and block
i found this number on the block in back i think it is A36168 or A83168
on a ford count the bolts on the valve covers. ill find the page that you can count the blots on the valve cover and you will know what motor it is
http://www.fordcobraengines.com/engineid.asp (http://www.fordcobraengines.com/engineid.asp)
or this one

here what i was looking for
The quickest way of differentiating between the different familys of Ford engines is to simply count the valve cover bolts.
2 bolts: 239/256/272/292/312 (produced from 1954 to 1964)
5 bolts: 332/352/360/361/390/391/406/410/427/428 (FE engine)
6 bolts: 221/260/289/302/351W
7 bolts: 429/460
8 bolts: 351C/351M/400
how do i find out what the year is i think i need a new water pump but need to know what year the motor is
