Engine ID Tag HELP!!!
Hello I need help figuring out what kind of engine i have, now the intake and carb are Edelbrock but the engine tag reads:
360 69 3
8 k k 301 s
block cast reads: C7MEA Head cast reads: C8AEH
This thing is throwing me off and yes I know about the Dowel measure trick i just want some more info if at all possible
Thank you all for your time and help

It's a 360 FE - or was. 1969, most likely. The rest, dunno... might want to ask in the FE forum, but be prepared for a bunch of "you can't go by the engine tag after all this time" comments 
Not sure how the engine tag is still on there is the intake was changed, unless someone really wanted it to stay there, of course.
Made in 1969, it'll have the latest casting numbers available - C8AE-H heads are 1968, standard heads. C7ME-A block is normal too.
Without checking stroke, can't say it's a 360, could be a 390 too.
But given that someone went through the trouble of putting that engine tag back on it, I'd tend to believe it.
