I have a 66 Mk1A that I recently bought. I'm trying to figure out what
engine it has in it. Is the engine number that appears on the VIN tag
supposed to be stamped on the engine somewhere?
The Ford casting number for the block is as follows:
C4OE-6015-C
The C4OE says '64 Fairlane engine. Is this engine supposed to be in a
Tiger?
Does the rest of the number indicate whether it's a 260 or a 289?
Is it true that, due to thin wall casting, a 260 cannot be bored to a
289?
The seller told me that he was pretty sure it has the original motor.  I
myself am not so sure.
I appreciate any help.
