1 C3AE-N = this is the casting # representing C3AE-6303-N which is
Ford part # C3AZ-6303-F
2 Are you sure it is a 5C? Is it by itself? Sometimes there is a
harness number inside a triangle
3 X is a normal casting mark as is a 1M marking
4 5D as w/ #2; I don't have a good idea. Are they cast in or struck?
Struck could be an inspection mark.

Subject: [Tigers] 260 Crank Trivia...
Ok, so I am putting together a hopefully high performance 260 motor. The
engine class is really close to a stock 260 displacement, less tha 1/2
cubic inch play. I have a 260 block that is very close to stock bore,
see foot note for more info. The crank I have courtesy of a Las Vegas
friend has standard mains and rod journals. Mains are 2.247 on all 5 of
them and rod journals are 2.1225 vs 2.1232 OEM dimensions. Here is the
sum total of teh information on teh crank itself:
1. C3AE-N
2. on the first counterweight ahead of teh 1&5 rod journal there is a
"5C"
3. on the first counterweight ahead of the 1&5 rod journal there is a "X"
4. On the second counterweight behind the 1&5 round journal there is a "5D"
There are no other numbers or letters on the crank.
The C3AE-N is a 1963 Generic or Galaxie vehicle engine part. I have no
clue as to the-N.
What does #2, #3, and #4 above mean?
many thanks
