You can try google searches, but the year really does not matter when they were only produced for a while
Hi Not usually from the engines number what would tell you is the VIN number as each is individual to each car.
Open the drivers door and look at the production date on the VIN sticker under the door latch.
The first digit is manufacture, the second the model, next is number of cylinders, followed by two digits for body style, then the year.
If this is true then it is a 1974 ford engine.
But there should be more digits such as the engine serial number. So I suspect you are not actually looking at the info needed to make a positive identification.
Your donk was built in December 1985
The only years Ford installed 2.0 liter engines in the Ford Pinto were model years 1971 to 1974.
Incidentally, Ford quit manufacturing the Pinto in 1980 because it came out that the Pinto had an extremely strong propensity for suddenly exploding in a giant fireball killing everyone inside by burning them alive before being able to get out in even minor collisions (e.g., getting rear-ended by a car going as slow as 10 mph), something Ford knew about but covered up for years by settling with victims and making them sign nondisclosure agreements because Ford's bean counters figured out that Ford made far more profit off the popular Pinto than the settlements cost and that fixing the problem would also cost far more than the settlements cost, leading Ford to simply let customers burn because it was cheaper.
As Shakespeare said, "The truth will out," and out it did. Consumer Reports published an article that provided conclusive proof that the Pinto was a fiery deathtrap, the deadliest car ever, in fact, even deadlier than the Volkswagen Beetle, which holds a distant second place. The sh*t hit the fan. Ford got body-slammed with a class action lawsuit whose resultant punitive damages completely erased all of the profit Ford ever made on the Pinto and much, much more, and Ford's stock value dropped like a stone. Ford immediately discontinued the Pinto and rued the day it had ever conceived of the damn thing.
In the 1980's, if you had a Ford Pinto you had bought and wanted to sell used, forget about it. You couldn't even give those things away.
- Why would you think my 2008 Ford H 53 chassis Motor home engine randomly cut off and the ABS light come on? Ford Triton V10 when heading up a hill sometimes the engine will cut out and the ABS light on the dash comes on and goes out. The engine continues to run and we get home just fine. Seems like power is getting cut off or something.
