RE: FE Block casting #

With that casting # and 4.05 bore, your block reaks of being an FT. (Not to say that's bad)

However, FE's switched to 4-bolt motor mounts (at least, 4 holes on the block) in `65,(I think) so that's not a viable identifier.

Did you get the crank, or timing cover with the block? If the crank snout, or opening in the timing cover (the inside diameter of the oil seal) is 1 3/4 inches (actually 1.76") it's an FT. FE cranks had a 1.38" snout (between 1 1/4 and
1 1/2").

Sorry, but I know very little about cams, so I will refrain from making a suggestion on one for your app.
