Hi everyone. Happy Christmas Eve. I was out back looking at the falcon and I finally found what I was looking for. Caked in grease I found the engine tag on the coil. I screwed if off and wiped some of if off. I am officially bamboozled. I can not find anything that tells me what I have. They all contradict each other. So from the top. My warranty plate says it was manufactured with a 144 i6 and 3spd manual. The valve cover is light blue like 144s in 64. BUT the actual code on the passenger side of the block says it is a 64 170. and to add to the confusion the engine tag from too left to right reads: 144 64 2 and then on the bottom 4 D N1-B. So this tag contradicts what the block says. I have three things pointing to it's a 144 but the actual engine block says it's a 170. It's almost like someone took a 170 and tried to make it look like a 140 by painting it blue and putting the old engine tag in it. Can anyone help me here. At this point I'm guessing the only way to know for sure is to rip this thing apart. Thanks. Happy Holidays everyone
