Can you tell me the correct pronunciation of your user name? It may help ascertain the seriousness of responses to your question.

Great piece.
Actually, the pistons seem to be in the standard position with the use of LeMans Rods.

C7 AE-A merely tells you the block was originally intended for a '67 or later Ford product. More critical would be the three character code (number, letter, number) between what appear to be two slotted screw heads that will tell you the date it was built.
