The codes change from year to year

For example, Code "G" for the engine (fifth character in the VIN) is a 406 in 1962 - 63.

However, code "G" in 1969 - 70 is a Boss 302.

There are lots of codes for each model year. A CD or paper (preferred) copy of the Ford Master Parts Catalog is a good reference, so is the factory shop manual for each particular car line.
