If you already have it then it's free,isn't it?LOL![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]The D4 indicates 1974,I would say without looking it up that it should be a decent one.As long as it's not a 255 or something it's pretty hard to go wrong with a small Ford![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

that doesnt necessarily mean that it is a 74 block. D4 is the year that particular part started production. if the next code for the particular part is D8 then that means the D4 was made from 74-77.

So.....it's safe to assume that it's still a good block......right.
