lol... I was kind of excited for a moment.
Oh well.
Oh well.
Build date for 14's that might have 15 engine parts?
- Thread starter TrackpackGT
- Start date
Kind of excited but I'm not convinced on the new pistons yet. Hopefully they are at least as strong as the 13 - 14s normal ones
Well how about this, I just checked my car and it has the new style head on the passenger side and the old style on the driver side! Talk about a half breed... Code on VC is EG398AA.

FATHER FORD also said pistons were different as well so assuming the whole rotating assembly is out of a 15. I keep hearing that the pistons are no good but then you have hellion throwing down stupid numbers on them.
Stupid numbers on a dyno are easy, stupid numbers while have a extended load on the car is another.
Agree 100%--that's why we're anxious to see the pictures of your 2014 (2015??) rods
Any updates?
I just started at the Ford dealer today. Hopefully I'll get some info this week.
Not to be a broken record but...
Can anyone tell me what the last batch number on 6/20 was? I am 7190- would be hella cool to have one of the last s197s built
Edit: with the 6/20 build date I have engine code 397

Can someone post a picture of the '15 cooling port vs. the '14? Not seeing the change. Thanks.
Is there anyway to confirm the heads without measuring valve size if I take the intake off?
Here is a pic of the back of my cylinder head with the casting numbers and date. I think the "e" and "4" next to Y means may, 2014. If I can find a pic of a 2015 I could match it up but the Google search came up fruitless.

I think someone's playing you fools like a fiddle.
Post up the guts of this hybrid pig or GTFO!

Just checked my late 2014 GT built on 06/11/14 and it also has the newer 2015 style head castings.

15' Head flanges, and also has 3 bolt WP. I haven't pulled coil cover to check engine code
Nice...
I guess the only thing concrete now is that some late 14's did indeed have the 15' head castings as many have been able to verify. Where the cutoff date is, who knows. Mine is a 06/11/14 build and it does have the 15' castings.
The next question is what valves, rods and pistons were used in these engines with the newer castings. I have no plans in the near future to teardown, but I'm sure as time goes on cars built in the last month will be modded and pulled apart. It would be nice to keep this thread on the educational path and note build dates and then we can really narrow down when the 15' head casting switchover occurred.
I think some other member said their torque converter was different in their late 14' 5.0. Would be nice to verify what the difference was and what that build date was since the 15 got a different converter.
