C1TE i believe.. it was only available in heavy duty applications so if you're looking for one big Ford Trucks of the era is your best bet..

Is C1TE the block or crank?

 Thanks,

Jim

i think it's the number for the crank.. the block code would more than likely be a either C1AE or C2AE since it was only used in heavy duty trucks from 61 to 64..

If you're buying an engine in hopes of acquiring a forged crank, the best thing o do is to look at the crank flange and/or pull the oil pan.

The same block casting was used with cast and forged cranks.

There is no specific truck block but the C1AE or C2AE are your best bet. You should still pull the pan to make sure of the crank.

The steel crank was only used in truck engines for a few years. It was very common to buy a used crank instead of having one turned 45 years ago. Trucks were even more vulnerable to having a salvage yard crank installed because they were driven a lot of miles and subjected to a lot of abuse. They might not break, but they sure turned blue when they were run low on oil. If you really want a steel crank, make sure you identify it.

would that be the same for a 63-64 school bus  as i have  a complete y out of a bus for 200$ complete oil pan to carb and still has the bellhousing and all attached and is the truck block the same as a car ?
