J= Australian Ford

H = Assembley plant Code. Don't know about the type of streamlined plant alterations after 1985. The Geelong plant was rejigged after the Clevleand was axed in 1983.

71, body type, I don't know what it is. Could be a Fairlane or LTD

C = Year code (C is 84);

G = Date code (G is April)

The 4.1 engine was also being made for the F150 and Bronco, but only till 1985, so its likely to be nothing other than a Falc, Monty, Fairline or LTD. Can't remember when the Falcon based Nissan Ute came out.

Kiwi cars got codes like MEA for exports, then the JG or JL or JH no.

I've got JC 31BT 313520 for a 83DA 6015 block. It was a wagon too!

I've got JG45XB for a 76 DA 6015 block. It was a Panel van

I've got JG 35GB 55777 for a 84 DA 6015 block. It was from an EFI Fairmont Ghia, I think.

Looks like

22 is a base Falcon

23 is a Falcon 500


31 is Wagon

32 is base sedan (although some have said its a Fairmont Ghia)

33 is a Fairmont, Futura or GT sedan

34 ??is Fairmont Wagon

35 is Fairmont Ghia

45 is Panel Van

61? Fairlane

71? LTD

The codes were shown in Muscle Numbersin Australian Muscle car, and the rest is from cars I wrecked lately!.
 
Went through your list with my sources added!

I get:

10 is Futura hardtop

11 is Futura Sedan

12 is Futura Taxi (rare and only up to XP - never seen one in life)

22 is a base Falcon (usu. taxi) (prior was Deluxe Hardtop)

23 is a Falcon 500 / Falcon GL

24 is Falcon 500 / Falcon GL taxi pack

30 is standard Falcon wagon

31 is Falcon 500 / Falcon GL Wagon

32 is Fairmont GXL / Ghia sedan

33 is a Falcon GT

34 is Fairmont sedan

35 is Fairmont wagon

45 is Panel Van

61? Fairlane

65 is Falcon 500 Hardtop

66 is Falcon GT Hardtop

67 is Fairmont Hardtop

71? LTD

Do these nombers mean anything to ya
CG81UB15583C

September 1978, Code 81 is, what, a Landau or F150 or Bronco or Cortina or Transit.

CG looks a little odd. Its Geelong assembeled, but C is a code fro another country.

Most likely JG81UB etc etc.

Fun city!
 
all the cortina's i've seen have CG in their engine number!!!!maybe the C means cast iron head and G means geelong?who knows?a couple of my old log motors also started with CG.one was from xb falcon and one was in td cortina.most falcon's started with JG,JH,JL,JJ.bloody ford just does it that way to screw us all up!!!cheers
 
Imported engine assemblies

I was in bed last night and then it hit me! If its a four, Australians never made it in there own country. I don't even think Ford made Mazda engines for Telstar, Ecconovans, Meteors, Lasers, Capri FWD, Festivas etc in Australia, they were made in Taiwan, if I'm not mistaken. Autrorama, the Sino Australian Ford branch, did the design and building of the cars with Mazda.

If its a European Ford, like the 1977 on wards Cortinas (really a Taunaus with a huge percentage of Aussie content), then C is for Cologne, where the Germans made the last of the 2000 cc OHC engines.

81 is Cortina.

Look at the code picture in the above posts, and it'll give you the data of assembly!


Early Aussie Engines:

Early engines, like my 200 XR Falcon engine, had no letter code except a F on the top left of the block,
then a body and year code (22h6),
then an engine number (G2272) code on another label,

making it an F 22H6 G2272, with a generic part number code of ARC6DE 6015 -D for the block. The AR codes spell an early log engine made in Australia.

British Fords:

Early pre 1976 Ford 2000's, the Cortina, Capri, Transit, Escort may have had a F or B for Britian, where Pinto 2000 engines in the Rwd Capri 1 and II's and Cortinas came from originally. After that, Ford Britan pulled the pin on making them in there Dagenham plant. The Kent and Essex plants got closed down, with tooling sent to South Africa in the early 80's.
 
Here's a pic of the number
just to prove im not a day tripper

Good call XECUTE, that was my next guess, lol

Heres something thats been playing on my mind too. Feburary '89 panelvan built in QLD, 6FPAAAJL42KU17047. I've seen the six digit alphanumeric prefix on later model fords too, so my guess is they extended it over the Blackwood based falcon utility range. I just haven't come across any data that states wether or not any more information about the vehicle lies in the VIN prefix, though. The engine block does not carry the prefix, vis a vis OHC motors. Any ideas?

edit:
42 seems to be GL Panelvan. Was the van a surferoo or sundowner van xecute?
 
It was a 45 for sure. Has S pack, 4.1, had a 4-speed, S-pack instruments, bib spoiler, 10 hole wheels, heavy duty suspension, fog lights, full ADR compliance plate, but all the emissions bits are blocked off. It was orginally Barbados Green or something, with an O paint code

LPG system lookes like a dealer installed item.

Maybee it was for the cops!

And its not a CKD New Zealand kit.

42, add that to the list!
 
all the cortys ive had/seen have had the CG prefix so i reckon C must be from the cortys....
 
what about this engine code?
is this from a cortina?

0g60yc
82321c

thats as it appears just near my drivers side engine mount.
thanks heaps.

Most likely that the O is a C.

Obviously, there was a Holden worker from Pagewood wielding the CG punch so jolly hard it made a OG....

I've done a literature search. A Mr Burgess a nasty Pom, said in a UK Car article in 1982. "Aussie made Family 2 engines have been suffering sparking plug problems. Some hairy @rsed cobber on the production line overtightened all the plugs...." :p :p

:oops: Seriously, I don't know what 82 is bar being an S-pack Cortina or Wagon?. Now I'm guessing :unsure:: :unsure:: :roll: :roll: . It lookes like

81 is L

82 is S

83 is GL

84 is Ghia
