What is this engine?
What is this engine? I know it's a FE but which one? I found numbers along the front right side of the block, but they were upside down! The numbers are as follows:
C7AE6015G
DH1814 or OH1814
44
21
DIF
OK FE experts, what is it and what is it worth. It was removed from my parts truck 55 F100. I know it's not original. I believe it was born in 1967, long after my Effie was born. It runs, doesn't smoke, doesn't lack for compression. Depending on what it is, I may rebuild it and put it in my driver Effie, but need to know what it is so I can order a rebuild kit.
Thanks
Bubba

by casting #'s they dont tell you anything, bout the only thing is it was made in 67 and originally in a car, you need to check the stroke, its prolly a 352/360/390
352 stroke is 3.5 bore 4
360 stroke is 3.5 bore 4.05
390 stroke is 3.78 bore 4.05
428 stroke is 3.98 bore 4.13
352 stroke is 3.5 bore 4
360 stroke is 3.5 bore 4.05
390 stroke is 3.78 bore 4.05
428 stroke is 3.98 bore 4.13

It looks like a plain vanilla 1967 352. That's the only FE block in my book that has a C7AE number without an A after it.
How much it's worth kind of depends on where you're located. Around here where I am, Iowa, they're dirt cheap, there's zillions of them in the junkyards, if you know which junkyard to go to. Around here, it's probably worth $100. Now if you're located in an area where there aren't many of 'em around, then the block alone might be worth $200.
Dont pitch it, it can be built into a 390 with a simple .050" overbore, a 390 crank, and 390 rods. Even if you dont go .050" over on the bore and leave it at 4", you'll still get 380ci.

kurts also right about what there worth, and its not to much, specially here in iowa, a few weeks ago i bet i saw 100 or more FE's in trucks get crushed, unless your in the right area, there not worth all that much. good luck

Thanks guys,
It was in a parts truck and I could not identify it. If it was one of the bigger members of the family, I might try to rebuild but I think I'll just pass it along to someone who can use it !
Thanks for the replys
