Urgefor,

Do you need the C5 and/or the bosses for a specific reason?

Mostly to make my life a bit easier.  I have a '64 block with the bosses but the project car is a '66. I've fabricated some motor mounts to make it fit but it just "bugs" me a bit. Long story short, I was not aware some C5 blocks were cast like that also.  If I can get a C5 block with bosses and extra material in the webs like the '64 block along with the 4 bolt engine mount pattern, it would be a win/win for me.  I have a couple C6 engines.  To be more precise, one engine (from a country squire) along with a complete drivetrain from a '66 Galaxie that was a real man's car.  4bbl, 4spd, no air, no power brakes and no power steering.

By chance have you seen this post in private classifieds?

For historical purposes, what is the casting date on your block?  Also, it sounds like Kevin would be interested in a picture of the C5AE-A casting on the block for information gathering he has been doing.
