Where can I find a engine casting number guide? I have a 67 v8 which I was told was a 289 but I have looked at the casting numbers and now i'm not sure what it is. The numbers by the starter are C90E-6015-c or 8015-C there are other numbers 9M4 . I looked at the heads and since they are still on the motor I could make out a 302 between the rockers but is that the engine size they are from?

 

you have a 69 302 since 68 was the last year 289 was available. C=60's decade 9= year in decade 0= fairlane/torino line and E= engine part. There is a decoder in the faq section if need more decodeing

 

I also saw a C90E-B listed as a 69 351W . I couldnt find the coder in FAQ. Was there a C90E 302 block?

 

BTW the block is a different color than the heads after I pressure washed the motor.

 

This is from the FAQ sec. under IV. VIN AND PARTS DECODERS:
interesting reading if you look at the paragraph near the first head casenumber pic it says block casting numbers do not determine CID
