> Maurice GeraetsGPW-6015 is the Ford part number cast into the block down by the oil
pan. Your engine serial number is underneath the oil filter on the side
of the engine block. There is a small casting "boss" (flat area
3/4"x2") that should have the serial number stamped on it. the serial
number should read GPW-XXXXXX. If there is no serial number stamped
in this "boss", your ford engine is probably a replacement engine made
by ford.
