8=1968 model year block
U= Louisville car assembly plant
153253=Vehicle serial number
C7AE-A=emissions-era head, could be found on almost any FE in 1967-68.
"S" style intake=Equal runner "emissions-era" design, could be found on almost any FE car in 1968.
I've got a listing of what type of cars were made at what plants, but I can't get to it right now. You may have a GT motor, the camshaft and valve springs will tell for sure.
Because it's a 1968 block, if it was a GT it would also be drilled for "Thermactor emissions" in all 50 states, because the GT cam and Holley carb couldn't pass emissions with just the plain old "IMCO emissions" system (IMCO is just lean jetting and distributor curving done by Ford to reduce emissions).
Invariably, a GT is a GT because of the cam and carb. If you wanna build a 390 from 1968, they're all based on the same sturdy shortblock, though 390 blocks came in two compression ratios - three if you count pickup trucks.
