hello.

Can anyone decipher this engine tag? It doesn't fit the codes I found online.

Recently purchased a 66 coupe original 6 cup with this 289 in it and was hoping for some info on it.

Previous owner did not upgrade any running gear to accept v8, so I am in market for those pieces. (Spindles, brakes, steering stuff etc)
Thanks

The tag and intake number says it is a 65 .Look just above the starter on the block for the block number ,it should also start of with C5 ,C6 would be 1965

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I see it is a 65. Just wondering what else could be gleaned from the tag. The stamps don't seem to line up with anything online. For instance the only code I could find for "571" shows as a 351. Which I don't believe it is. I will try to find the block stamp when I get home.
