I checked the block pretty close it was a B5AE-A for 1955 - sort of wierd because none of my info on Y block casting number shows this number?? I know how some casting numbers can be rough but this is real readable.
thanks, Jess

Here is a link to help identify Y-blocks. That number is not there, but it does show where to get the correct numbers to use for ID.

I havent been checking the posts lately, but thanks for the link. i think i need to get a wire wheel and work the number over although it sure looks to be B5AE-A.
46yblock mentioned some time back to post a pic, and thats not a bad idea.
cussobill glad i'am not the only one with this number delima, LOL maybe we have the only two that exist. Jess

So, the implication is that it was actually cast in the late 50's but it is a replacement part for the earlier 50's 239 or 272 block.
I'd love to hear what the bore size of that block is. 3 1/2" or 3 5/8". I will guess that it can be bored to 3 3/4" if need be.

Yes, it could be a replacement casting for the 239. What throws people off is that Ford didn't start using that format of casting numbers until the late 50's, maybe 1959. But the B5 means 1955.
