I beleive the main reason the Ford C5 casting number was added was to make the blocks NHRA stock and SS legal. The C5AE-H casting number was original to the sideoiler. Thus accepted as a legal replacement/upgrade. Then when Ford added them to the FMS catalog they were assigned a new Ford part number. I'm not sure where either side stands now. But that's part of the story as I understand it. I'm sure there is more to it...
