Block code?
I finally got the years of grease and grime scapped off the motor in my 76, and i cant find my code book. C5AE-A is the block code, is this a 352 or 390?

Search the '48-'60 forum for a thread called "Help! How old is my 460?" There's lots of great info about codes and casting #s. Seriously, it reads like a tech article!
