Just for fun I pulled out all the old bearings to see all the date
codes.
Rod bearings - 10 are 7 4 = July 1964, 5 are10 3 = Oct 1963, 1 is 5 4 = May
1964
Main bearings - 4 are 3 - 4, 2 are 4 - 64, 4 are 5 - 64
My engines build date is Jan 1965.
Makes me think that Ford stock piled these bearings early for the Rootes
build.
Has anyone rebuild a MK II original 289 and still has the original Ford
bearings laying about?
It would be interesting to know what those date codes are on an original
289.
