DV,
The numbers break down as such:
C6AE-6015-C
C6=1966
AE=It originally came in the Mustang
This is a stock 289 engine (2 or 4V) , 6 bolt bellhousing, 4.00" bore size, 8.206" deck height (just as an FYI, the HiPo 289 and the standard 289 share the same block, with the exception being the wider and heavier main bearing caps).
Heads are 289 with 54.5cc chambers (if a C6 casting), and valve sizes of 1.67/1.45 inches respectively, or 63cc chambers(if a C8 casting is present) with the same valve sizes as the earlier units
Both styles of heads will work well provided they get flowed properly......A hydraulic version of the 289 HiPo cam (crane has one that is almost dead on to the original, but not a solid cam) works well with these heads...However, the engine builder will decide what is needed to compliment the work he/she will be performing...
Any other questions, just let me know.
Sincerely,
Bill S.
PS: Would love to get the casting numbers off the heads (C4, C5, C6, or C8 starting codes).........
