No can do Ray,my engine code is c8oe-6015-a and the date code is 7-e-31

 

Have a C5AE-E; May '65 casting, original bore, complete (air cleaner to pan w/ ex manifolds, distributor,w/pmp etc attached) Ran good when removed. Yours for $600 + ship fr Canada. Freight could hurt. Contact me direct djjsc(at)juno(dot)com

 

does the "A" in the code means it came froma galaxie?

 

The A in the castingcode means it was designated for the Galaxie line but in reality they went into everything as the demand at the assembly linedictated. Correct for Mustang /Fairlane/Galaxie.

 

"does the "A" in the code mean it came from a galaxie?"

The "A" in the cast # actually means the part was originally designed for the Galaxie, or to be more accurate, the full size Ford (Custom, Galaxie, LTD). In this caseyou could find a C5AE engine block in any Ford vehicle that offered the 289. A C5AE would even be correct for a 289 HiPo offered only in the Mustang; the block itself is identical in every detail. And yes, mine is fr a Mustang, although not a HiPo.
