A while back I asked for help identifying a engine I was looking to buy
Here is the thread
http://www.fordsix.com/forum/viewtopic. ... ht=#359299
Anyway the Markings read as follows:
Block C8DE 6015A
On intake
D00E 6090A or D0DE 6090A The third character was not well defined so I could not be certain if it was 0 or D
In response I got this information:
looks like you have a 1968 200 block with a 1970 head. everything will transfer over...
Here is the problem. My buddy tore it down to rering and add new bearings and valve seals , The bottom end was beautiful, Posted for bearing sizes, measured this out it is stock bearings,2.123 rod and 2.248 main, So I had him check bore to know if it was stock or oversize for getting rings.......
It is a 3.50 bore, Looks like the damn thing is a 170, not a 200!
I asked him how many mains, He replied 4 So it does not look like it is a 1968 200 Block does it? Ok I could not remember if it makes a difference or not so I asked about freeze plugs.....3 on the right side 2 in back.
Am I right is this only a 170??????
Was the person that deciphered the block markings Mistaken?
It does not make sense to me..........Common sense if i am correct, 4 mains 3.50 bore Pre 65 170?
Help me figure this out for certain please, I got to keep moving.

I have remember so make sure to say it's 5 under the exhaust manifold. having said that $100.00 for a low mileage D0 head and a 170 block is still a good deal.
