The ECK letters lead me to believe it is a 1955 or 1956 produced engine block. I'm guessing that the C in front of the ECK is an indicator of Canadian production.
John Mummert's web site at Ford y-block.com is a wealth of technical information on this engine series. Below is a link to the web page on engine block casting numbers. Click the link for access.

Hope this helps.

ADDENDUM: I JUST noticed that the second number in JM's listing is the CECK number you asked about!
