Thread: help identifing fe engine

the engine is complete and still in a 57 ford fairlane that i bought, thanks

Daryl,
The info I got from a Ford truck site suggests the following:
C=60's era part, 1= 2nd digit of yr part designed(61), A= automobile, (or T= truck), E= engine

That means your engine, or at least the part that has "c1ae" on it, is from a 61 car. Apparently, the only way to tell the difference between a 352 & 390 is to measure the stroke. 352 = 3.50" / 390 = 3.78"

Hope that helps some.....
