C40E-6015C is a 289 casting and it should be a 5 bolt engine. You
would need the engine ID tag to determine if it was inspected and sent to
the HiPo build. The engine ID tag is that aluminum tag mounted on the
intake manifold, for most engines that tag is long gone.
C40E-6015E is the 260 replacement and 289 casting. This is the
engine casting number for all Mark 1 series Tigers with original engine
blocks.

Subject: Block i.d. more questions
Thank you everyone who responded to my block i.d. question. I gather that
unless one pulls the oil pan and valve cover your really won't know if you
have HiPo parts or not. However, I still would like to find out if
C40E-6015C is a 289, or is it a 260. Also is it 5 bolt, or a 6 bolt. I'll
guess 289, 5-bolt (???), but please you tell me. I also guessed my Tiger
would be "drivable" in a years time and you can see how wrong I was about
that! Thanks, Tom Witt B9470101
