I need help identyfing an engine i removed from my 55 f 100.casting numbers on side of block are c4ae. It has no cross bolt mains or other significant markings, other than just 2 hole motor mount holes. I believe this is pre 1965. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yup. You've got a 64-65 block there. There should be a casting date code stamped on a boss just below where the oil filter mounts. It will be three or four digits (a number, a letter, and one or two numbers). It will tell you exactly when your engine was cast.
Thanks !!!!!
