From what I know, the number you've posted is a basic casting number, and the only things it tells you are:
C - 60's decade
3 - third year, '63
A - generic full size Ford application
E - component type, Engine
6015 - Engine Base Assembly (block)
F - 6th engineering variation of the part

You need to look at the "Vehicle Warranty Number" (VIN), 5th position letter to see which engine came in the car originally.
Thanks , a lot Roger for help ,i know it's not easy to read the casting number because I confused from the VIN plate it mentioned V mean its 223 cid & the car is Ford Galaxie 1961 but I realized that they changed the engine.
VIN ( 1 E 52 V 147117 ) Body 54A TRANS. 1 AXLE 2
Thanks:
