To identify your engine definitively, you need more information, beyond the casting number. Here's what would be helpful:
* More Photos: Clear pictures of the entire engine block, especially the areas where the casting numbers are located. Look for additional numbers stamped on the block, head, and intake manifold.
* Block Casting Number Location: Precisely where on the engine block did you find "C5DE 6015-G"? This helps determine if it's a partial number, or if it's in an unusual location.
* Engine Displacement: Determine the engine's displacement (e.g., 170 cubic inches, 200 cubic inches). This is often stamped on a valve cover or other component.
* Head Casting Numbers: The numbers on the cylinder heads are crucial for identification.
* Intake Manifold Casting Number: This can provide further clues.
With additional details, you can try:
* Online forums: Search Ford-specific forums (like the Ford-trucks.com, etc.) and post your detailed pictures and findings. Someone there will likely recognize the engine based on the additional information.
* Ford parts databases: Some parts databases may allow searching by casting numbers, but you often need a complete or more precise casting number.
* Local Ford mechanics or restoration shops: They might have experience with older Ford engines and be able to identify it from pictures.
The "points distributor" is consistent with a 1960s Ford six-cylinder, so your initial assumption is plausible. But to be sure, more information is required.
