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
