Engine number help

Hello all,
I am new to this forum and am requesting some help identifying a ford straight six number. I have a 1963 ford flatbed truck with a straight six. The casting number on the block is C3AE-6015 space AC. Any help identifying this engine would be greatly appreciated. Looking for exhaust manifold or headers. Michael

Welcome to the forum! First, it works a lot better to start a new thread than pullling up a thread from seven years ago and tagging your question onto the end, especially if you want ongoing discussion on a question.

From what I know, the number you've posted is a basic casting number, and the only things it tells you are:
C - 60's decade
3 - third year, '63
A - generic full size Ford application
E - component type, Engine
6015 - Engine Base Assembly (block)
F - 6th engineering variation of the part

You need to look at the "Vehicle Warranty Number" (VIN), 5th position letter to see which engine came in the car originally.

Thanks , a lot Roger for help ,i know it's not easy to read the casting number because I confused from the VIN plate it mentioned V mean its 223 cid & the car is Ford Galaxie 1961 but I realized that they changed the engine.
VIN ( 1 E 52 V 147117 ) Body 54A TRANS. 1 AXLE 2
Thanks::D
