need help id'ing this engine
By john - 03/13/2002 2:58:34 PM; IP 216.29.126.145
i was told it was out of a 60's passenger car, and it was a 390. Here are some of the numbers off of it.

Heads- C7AE-A average fe heads?
Block- C6ME common fe block?
Block next to water pump- 28, then below it, 352
Exhaust Manifolds- C3SE9431-B

Can you guys tell me what year this engine is, from those codes, or do i need another one. i looked around the oil filter on the block, and found a two digit # followed by DIF. Do i need that number to find out what year it is? Will the castings from the head tell me what the compression ratio is? I think both 10.5 and 9.5 were an option in 68. THanks.
This thread, so far...
