Hopefuly this will clear up any confusion over the numbers and dates on Ford 289 blocks. As can be seen the C5AE-6015E number is an engineering number introduced in 1965, but was also used in later years.
The actual cast date and assmbley date info is in the text so you can precisely date your block.

A weighty tome, but acknowledged as the best book on the Ford small block V8.

Re: Ford 289 block numbers
Anyone interested in one of these. they're $35 for the book but $46 to ship (flat rate priority mail) . This is for 1 OR 4 books, so if I can get another 3 people interested we can split the shipping. To save UK postage I can keep hold of them until we meet at a "289 thing". (unless you're in a hurry to get your hands on it).CobStang wrote:http://www.fordsmallblock.com/
