That number only applies to the heads. There will be a similar number on the block. If it starts with C7, then it is not the original block, cause a C7 was first manu in 67. I'm guessing someone torched the original engine and pulled one out of a 67-68 Galaxie to replace it. If the block has a C2 or C3 casting number on it, it could be a 406, 410,427, 352 or 390. Look at the sides of the block, just above the oil pan. If it has 3or 4 bolts(can't remember which) going into the block horizontally, then it is a 4 bolt main 406 or 427. If so, it is worth BIG BUCKS!!!!! Anyway, it is a rare car which should turn you at least 2K with a good title.
