Hello everyone. I am a new owner of a 1966 coupe in OK shape, at least it made the 3 hr drive from Vallejo to Montery with no problems. Anyway, it originally had a 6 cyl. based on the door number. It now has a V8 under the hood with a 2V carb. The casting number off the block is C9OE-6105-C. I have looked all over to see what block this is with no luck. I am sure of the number and took a picture of it as many posts I found with a similar question thought the person posting it was confused. It appears all necessary modifications were done when adding the new engine (front end, mounts, brakes, 5 lug, etc.). If anyone can point me in the right direction to find out what block this is, that would rock!

Thanks, that helps. Just about every other C9OE - (B, C, H) was showing up as a 351W, just couldn't get a hit anywhere on C9OE-C except for a parts catalog from this site http://beckracing.com/slvpg49.htm shows it as a 351W casting. The water pump mount is flush with the head so it makes sense that it is a 302 ( I would asume the 351W would be higher since the higher deck). It has a 2v mounted on a 289 manifold with a enigine tag that says it is a 289, obviously not accurate. I will probably match it up over time with a 4v and a better intake manifold, no rush though as it runs smooth as silk right now. Thanks again!

No problem, it looks like the car is in very good shape from the picture you posted!!

 

It is, I just picked it up for 4k in Vallejo CA. The cowl is leaking though so I just slapped a cowl cover on until I have time to fix it. Has some rust on the A pillar and bottom of L front fender and the paint is fairly ametur but not terrible. Floor boards have been patced, but done pretty poorly. Pretty happy with the total package even with it being a frankenstien of various years.

Looks to be a pretty nice ride for 4K.
