This is the number I got from behind the starter C5AE-6015E. With small number 7B22, I tried to figure it out and not sure with what I got can some help me verify what it is

 

What you have is a 289 engine block that was cast on February 22, 1967, George Washington's birthday. That engine could have been used on Fairlanes, Falcons full size Fords as well as Mustangs.

Jim, C5 is a 1965 block. In 1965, this number C5AE-6015-E was for the 289 2V, 4V and Hi-Po blocks. In mid-year 1966 the Windsor plant also began producing 289s. The casting numbers for these were (C6AE-6015-C with a "289" and "WF" in the lifter valley. In 1967 both Cleveland and Windsor produced 289s using earlier year casting numbers but with updated date codes. These two blocks were interchangeable, but there were probably some minor differences. Near the end of the 1967 production run, Cleveland ran out of 289 blocks and substituted their new 302 block, C8-OE-6015-A and marked with 302 in the lifter valleys.

 

Glen,
Sounds good to me - except his casting date is in 1967. Based on that date and what you posted, it looks like someone forgot to inform the foundry to change castings.

So is there anyway to know if thi is the motor that came in my 67 Coupe.

 

basicly theres no way to tell ford didnt do the numbers matching tell 68 i believe.only ways to kinda tell is your vin and door tag if they say its a a code then it should be one.the block numbers do give you a clue but your engine can be up to a year older then your car.ford built engines faster then they did cars.

 

Jim is correct. The date code (which I overlooked) is 7B22 which translates to a 1967 block built on February the 22nd. So, you can rest assured that you have a 289 block built in 1967.
Here is how that breaks down.
This was copied from a good source.


The next set of numbers, "7C20", indicate the date code. In this example, even though the casting number reads "C5", it doesn't mean that the engine was made in 1965. You would need to look at this date code to see when it was made, which in this case is 1967.

Breaking the "7C20" date code down:

7 = designates the particular year that the engine block was made (remember to look at this date code for an accurate reading of the engine block's manufacture date)

5 = 1965; 6 = 1966; 7 = 1967; 8 = 1968; 9 = 1969; 0 = 1970

C = designates the month that the engine block was made

A = January; B = February; C = March; D = April; E = May; F = June; G = July; H = August; J = September; K = October; L = November; M = December
(the alphabet letter "I" was not used in the sequence)
20 = Designates the day of the month

 

where do you find the date code?

 

Your are not going to get a reply. Glenn "Soaring" was banned a year or so ago. They are talking about the casting number behind the starter. The small number is the date code.

 

yeah i miss ol' soaring, so i got my engine date code, it's 5E21, what does that translate too? my car was made on april 23 1965
