Trying to determine the production year of a Mustang 4.6 3V junk engine I
acquired. I was told it is a 2009. I have the vin number it was taken from. Need
to find a number on the engine to cross ref to the vin number. Do you know the
location on the engine...?
Thanks..... Jacque

The 10th character in the VIN is the year of the vehicle. You can go to this website. https://support.alldata.com/alldata-repair-online-article/vin-to-year-chart

Thank you... I did find the date and time the block was cast on top back of block casting. It is 06/06/08 at 11:29, so it must be an early build 2009. Just trying to cross reference the vin number to the block. I do not have the car, just the engine. Per you recommendation, I will research the vin number. Thanks again.
