C6ME-. block
I tried posting this over in the engine forum without much luck:
C6ME-...... nothing after the dash. So does that mean it's a C6ME or was the A left off on the end?Â*
For what it's worth, it also has C4AE 6090 G heads and an S code intake.Â* I've found plenty about both of those so no worries there.
I know the C6ME and C6ME-A were both common castings but I haven't found anything about "C6ME-".
It is a 3.5" stroke.

Mr. Tom, What are you shooting for? You have a 50 year old 60s FE 352 likely rebuilt with a car intake I believe.
For the most part those numbers don't mean a lot. But again what are you wanting to find out zackly?

These are not part numbers, they are 1966 casting numbers (foundry marks) for the FE engine that when finished, could be a 352 or 390.
Casting numbers cannot be cross referenced to part numbers.

Hey ID, I had another look. It seems my C6ME block has about half a dash or hyphen after the "E", looks a lot like a dot.
But, the bottom line is I don't know the significance of the dash or the "dot".

6t6 is right on. That dash is what I'm wondering about since there is nothing following the dash.

I have the heads off to check cylinder wall condition and do new head gaskets and the definitive answer on the engine is that it's a .040 over 352.
