Hello all, I would appreciate any help in decoding a ford small block and heads,none of my books are helpfull.
I bought a 64 Falcon Sprint and the motor was already pulled it is supposed to be a 260 ci. but before I do anything with it I want to know exactly what I have. A nosey neighbor told me the heads are high performance but you know how that goes with the experts .Anyway here is all the info. I could find on the block and heads
Block: found on a machined surface at the front of the block - 3J301
Block located at the rear Tag reading - 3J21
Stamped - C40E-6015B
Heads - Rt. side (Pass) - Tag- 3J10 ... circular stamp with 53197
Heads - Lt. side Driver)- Tag - 3J18....Circular stamp with 53197
This motor also is the 5 bolt transmission type. What type of performance could I resonably expect and how durable is this block?
Sorry, ain: just one more question, this car has the 2-spd trans and of coarse I would like to replace that with a c-4 or c-6 , is are the parts I would need to do this even available anymore?
Any info. or suggestions would be appreciated thanks, Ben
