Hmmm I checked a 260 I have and it's C4OE-6015-B.

But there could be more than one casting number.

You look here, at the top of this forum?

Kelly hotrod - Ford Engines Page 2

Any numbers on the heads, same site as above:

Kelly hotrod - Ford Engines Page 3

You going to use this for a vintage car? You know about the 5 bolt bell housing pattern, right?

thanks I have looked there but I'm not sure what the second set of numbers mean ? It looks like the only way to be sure is to pull a head off and check the bore.
I do know about the 5-bolt housing I was lucky enough to get two good trannys with it and located a bell housing yesterday.
I am planning on putting this in a 1927 T roadster pick-up but would like to be able to run a 5-speed behind it.
So for now I am gathering info if anyone knows a tranny combo that will work let me know.
Thanks

Please post the second set of numbers. They probably are a casting date code.

With a five bolt bellhousing you will have difficulty with a five speed transmission. A toploader, toploader overdrive or three speed electric overdrive will fit up but an adaptor will probably need to be made to suit the five bolt bellhousing to a five speed.

What transmissions do you have now?

4 F 10 indicates the cylinder block was cast in 1964-June-10th.

I'll try to find my Ford Small Block V8 bible tonight to research that block casting number.

Casting #

Here is a break down on what the numbers/letters mean.

Breaking down the Ford casting number
Table 1.3
C9AE-9510-M
Decade alpha
B = 50's C = 60's D = 70's E = 80's
C9AE-9510-M
Year numeric
9 = 9th year of the decade
C9AE-9510-M
Model design alphanumeric
A = Full size ford (see table 2.1 for more)
C9AE-9510-M
Engineered component alpha
E = Engine (see table 2.2 for more)
C9AE-9510-M
Basic Part number, mostly numeric between 4 and 6 digits,
9510 = carburetor (see table 2.3 for more)
C9AE-9510-M
Engineering version alphanumeric (up to 3 digits but mostly single alpha digit)
M = 13th version of C9AF-9510 carburetor

Also check with the classic Mustang suppliers, they have an adapter to adapt a T5 to your bellhousing.

I don't see a 5 bolt bell here, but they have an adaptor to use the original bell with the T5. Le$$ expen$ive than the bell.

Here's the block casting number rundown. The C4OE-6015-E marked cylinder block superseded the C4OE-6015-B late in 1964. The "E" block was also the service replacement block after its introduction.

Both are 260 blocks with 3.80" bore.

You should only get the adapter since you will have to fab up a Xmission crossmember. Laurel Mountain Mustang list it as part # TRA-645-423 Adapter Plate. At CJ Pony Parts the Part Number: T5AP1. Hope this helps.

I went back and reread this thread and am not sure if you have a standard 5 bolt bellhousing or not. If you don't have one you might look on ebay, I see them there occasionally. I might have one if I ever decide which direction I want to go with my 63 Comet (260/4speed). Am thinking about a 5.0 FI/5speed.
