Where is the Ford engine number located?

Ford's engine number is located on the nameplate on the side of the engine block under the hood. Definition of engine number: The vehicle identification number (VIN) is the car's ID number, which is determined according to national vehicle management standards and contains information such as the vehicle's manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location. New vehicle licenses usually print the VIN code in the "frame number" column. Composition of engine number characters: The VIN code consists of 17 characters, so it is commonly known as the seventeen-digit code. Correctly interpreting the VIN code is very important for accurately identifying the vehicle model and conducting correct diagnosis and maintenance.
When it comes to the location of Ford's engine number, having driven for decades, I can tell you that the engine number is usually engraved on the engine block. For Ford models like the Focus or Escape, you'll need to open the hood and look for it on the top or front of the engine, where there's either a metal tag or it's directly engraved on the block near the firewall. Some older models might have it in a more hidden spot, like above the oil pan, and you might need to clean off some dust first. It's actually quite important, used for vehicle registration or verification during repairs—don't confuse it with the VIN, which is located under the windshield. My advice for beginners or if it's hard to see: bring a flashlight, be patient, or check the owner's manual—it's clearly marked there.
