GT350 Block Number

[alex_st]

Hi, is a C6AE-6015-C block number original on a '67 GT350? Thought it must be a C5AE-6015-E. Thanks a lot for your help.

No C6 blocks were hipos.

So this is not the original block then. Correct?

Correct.

All 67 GT 350's had 289 hipos.  All 289 Hipos were C5AE blocks cast at the Cleveland, OH foundry.  All C6 blocks were cast at the Windsor, Ontario Canada foundry and none were 289 hipos.

Did all 67 GT350's have the VIN on the Block when new?

No ..
Not all 67 350s had a VIN on their blocks...

And don't let anyone tell you different.

Thanks Bret. Other than date code under the starter, any other solid facts to look for? Appreciate the lessons for a novice!

Hipo main caps would be important to have.

Yes...
Factory 4 Speeds did...
And unlike many transmissions VIN on Ford products, they are very easy to access....

How about VIN on automatics?

Not automatics during 66 or 67 production as a practice at San Jose. It became a Federal requirement in 1968 and most car companies started earlier than that to make sure it was being done so that they didn't get into trouble when it officially started. Was designed as an anti-thief deterrent. Just like the reason for some high performance applications prior to 1968
