Hello,
Upon restoration I noticed that I have HIPO engine block from Shelby GT350 1965 with 4H7 C5AE-6015E numbers. If anyone knows someone that this engine block matches, please let me know, I would be interested to sell. Thanks
If it has a VIN stamped in the side of it starting with 5R09K then it MIGHT be an engine which originally came in a GT350. The C5AE-6015 was a generic 289 engine block..used in everything from lower powered C code cars all the way up to K Code cars. Have you verified that it is, in fact, a HiPo block or are you just assuming that because of a C5AE casting number?
Regardless, I think it is unlikely to be a GT350 block with a 4H date code. JMHO
Kind regards,
Vern
July of 1964 would be way to early wouldnt it? When were the first 1965 Shelbys coming out?
If I remember correctly, I used a mid to late H 64 (Aug. 64) block for the build of 5S003, which had a door tag of being ordered in late October 64. Since 004 and the rest of the next batch did not arrive for another month/month-plus, I don't think this block would fit. If its a K code block, pass the K number to Howard, you never know, it may have been for one of the notchbacks?
