Original cars, owners, documentation Reply #92 – January 06, 2012, 06:08:42 PM I found out that my car was built on 09/22 in 1987. Since I'm crazy about cleaning I removed the date stamp (by accident) on the radiator support when I detailed the engine bay. I decided to have a stamp made up so I could reproduce the date stamp. I think it turned out pretty good :D. I also have a clearer picture of the paint marks on the transmission dipstick tube. Quote Selected

Original cars, owners, documentation Reply #94 – January 07, 2012, 10:58:28 AM It was only $5 bucks so not bad. I found a local guy who car pretty much make any rubber stamp you want. No one sells yellow ink however so I had to use water based paint to stamp the number. Quote Selected

Original cars, owners, documentation Reply #101 – May 18, 2012, 09:03:36 PM Quote from: rodsterh;296735Interesting find on my 83 5.0L Heritage. While looking for factory markings I noticed the fan shroud is a E4 part number. I've owned the car from new and the shroud is original. Manufacture date of the car is 04/83.Can all you 83 owners run out and check the part number on your fan shroud? :D Sorry this took me so long to do.....they are the same. Quote Selected
Original cars, owners, documentation Reply #102 – May 18, 2012, 09:08:38 PM My factory date code......6/4/83 corresponds to my build sheet and Ford report, as well. I also included the wheel lock sticker from McGuard from the trunk, the spare tire instructions, and the hidden location of the keyless entry code. Buck tag, build sheet and Ford report all here in one place. Quote Selected
Original cars, owners, documentation Reply #103 – May 18, 2012, 09:21:40 PM The '84 part number might be because the 5.0 kinda sorta delayed the production of the '83 models. Originally the 5.0 was supposed to be a running option but I believe they were available from Feb. 26th. Ford might have just switched the fan shroud part number from E3 to E4 as a result. Not positive but it makes a lot of sense. Quote Selected
