Hey Fernando, my son lives in San Antonio....isn't that kind of like South Texas? Enough of that personal stuff, it's hard to say for sure on a C3A block. It could be a 390 or a 352. Most 390s of the '62-'65 years that I've seen were 4-Vs. Many 2V FEs in those years were 352s. But there were 4V-352s too. Now in '66, 390s started being 2Vs as well as 4Vs. But being that your block has the C3A I'm going to speculate that it has a two bolt engine mount system and is probably a 352. But of course someone could have changed the intake/carb over all these years and it could be a 390. You may have to pull the pan and check the crankshaft and/or pull the heads and measure the cylinder bore.
This thread, so far...
