Well the casting number sure looks like C3AE-6015-U with the 6 missing from the 6015. I looked pretty close but tell me if your seeing different? Maybe I'm wrong? LOL The HP designation is the clincher since no FE's had these marks after 63. Being the motor mount bosses are cut off in the pic it's hard to see if it's a 2 bolt mount block.

Puller
Jay,
It's used as a puller. I like it also.
I hope he lopped off the bottom of the bellhousing before installing the engine. It becomes the lowest part of the car if not trimmed.

 LMAO!!!! Well it could be a a 6?? And looking closer at it I can see a 6...but also a slight space on the left side which I see as a 3?? Now I'm seeing both 6 and 3's LOL???? But that HP cast in there leads me back to 63 everytime???

Looks like a 6 to me, but it could also be a 3. Then again, the E looks like a 5 to me  .

Scufty, it's likely a 'service block', 1968 or later. Those did not come with CAEX type casting numbers. There is a series of number, letters and dashs\dots located around the oil filter area of the block. Some help here guys, I forget the exact location. The numbers are small and hard to read as well as difficult to interpret without help (which you should find in abundance around here)!
Most likely being a 'service block' it also 'drilled' to accept hydraulic lifters. The original side oilers (first generation) accepted ONLY solid lifters. |

That means it's an over the counter replacement block, not a block that came in a car.

...and for the anal retentive numbers kind of guy I offer this...
My friend has a date coded side oiler, 1965, that would be a 'real' and 'original' block. I have the service block, you know, a 'continuation' block. Wish mine was date coded like his.  |
