Block identification-what year is my 302?

[BlackGT89]

This website has the progression of the 5.0 H.O. Looks like the last time the block itself was actually improved upon was in 1986.

"Stronger block (126 lb.) incorporating 'squared bores' for better oil control."

yeah Rick 91GT just PMed me back and said that the 85/86 blocks tend to be a little stronger.

Now with the tranny, if you take the EZ9R in the code, that would stand for
'89 mustang, manual transmission right?

Ok now can anyone tell me, or find out any more information on this transmission? Here is everything that is on the tag:
E9ZR-7008-AA REP AU
13-52-184 27176K1492

Again thanks to everyone, this was driving me nuts!!!

I can't find a reliable resource for those tranny numbers. What can you tell us abotuthe engine it was attached too? Was it carb'd or TBI fuel injected or SEFI?

For some reason I thought we were talking automatic tranny...

For T5 identification: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/Detailed/349.shtml 1352 is Borg Warner T5, but no 184 is listed. 194 is a 2.3 tranny and that tranny would be in a XR4Ti. Double check that number?

BTW this is the website where I pulled the tranny info from

I don't even see a 1352-184 on there, so maybe instead it's a 194??? I'll have to double check that. But if it is a 194 then it came from a 89-90 2.3L? What's the differences between the 2.3L trannys and 5.0s?

Can't take as much torque and have smaller input shaft diameter. Exterior dimensions are the same. Some guys race with them. I know a guy that has made over 200 NOS runs with one behind a pretty strong 302. Other guys break them right away. So how long it'll last.

I don't plan on using it, I'll be going with a Tremec tranny for my car, but am trying to find out what I can because am looking to sell this trans.
