That is a casting number that will not mean much to folks here. If you look around a little more you will find the ford part number casting beginning with a "C0TE", if indeed the engine is original to a '60 ford truck!

C0TE would be the block casting number prefix, it's not part number related.

Casting numbers are foundry marks, cannot be cross referenced to Ford part numbers.
