That block was originally designed in 66 for a particular application but when it is carried over to another year only the date code changes not the part number. If small changes are made to the block over it's life than the last letter would change.
I thought the Ford change code was at the end of the cast number IE C6ME-N? Or maybe thats just on things like heads?
