I checked the transmission, it has the original one. It's a toploader 4, and it still have the letters in the tag. It says something like RUC N 1 or RUG N 1.

is this helpfull for the identification of the engine?

Ok guys, i finally took out the heads. they are froma 289HP, but the block says just 289. although it say HP at the back but painted. The heads have some letters and numbers below. donno if this mean something. The engine has NO "play" in the cylinders. the valves are "sitting" thight. this weekend i'll take out the oil pan. I need to change the water pump (must).

Yep, it says C8ZE in between the valves. It also says 289 and HP. For i've read and compaired, it doesnt have a hipo distributor nor exaust. Next week i plan to take out the oil pan and valve train.

My cousin toldme it was a 302 from a 76 or so mustang. But the casting numbers in the block says another thing (think so) The car wrecked some 15 years ago in a desert race competition in the north of Chile. I also hace the toploader transmission.

How do i put pictures in here?

sorry for my english...

thanks

hi everyone.

I'm from chile and i received an engine from a cousin as a gift. Its a Ford V8. I'm planning a complete overhaul to it, so first i need to identify it. The number on the block is a 0 C5AE-6015E 6J15, and i took out the valve cover and says 289 HP. It has a Shelby intake manifold and the original exhaust but broken. what else should i take care at? it has the original 4 gear toploader transmission.
