I had to change the starter on my Mustang and got the casting numbers while it was out. I was told its a late production 302 when I bought it.

5G22
O5AE-6015E

Any help would be appreciated.

O5AE is actually C5AE

No 302's till Spring 1968.

Started searching on several sites and found out there was no 'O'. Figured it had to be 'C'. I need to call the guy I got it from and find out what crank and rods are in it.

For future reference:

C = decade 1960's / 5 = 1965 / A = big Ford / E = engineering

If it had been an actual part number prefix: C5AZ

The Z refers to a Ford part, if it ended in Y: a Lincoln/Mercury part.

An A as the third digit in a Ford engineering number doesn't mean it's for a big Ford, it could fit anything.
