Rob

Look on the left side of the engine block, as you are looking towards the Windscreen, just above the oil pan, but just in front of the breather down pipe. There should be a set of Letters & a series of #'s, which will tell what year it is when looked up in a FoMoCo Interchange manual.

Hi Rob,
The C3 casting tells you that it is a 1963 motor.
