The C7ME-A would have been for higher CID applications
The marking on my block actually is "C7ME-A" . I didn't think the "-A" suffix was important because it wasn't mentioned on the few identification tables I was referred to. All of those tables did say, however, that "M" stands for Mercury.



I'm new to identifying FE blocks, so I can't say one way or the other. I am glad that my replacement engine is a 1967 because I know that the 352 was phased out in '65 or 6 and the 360 wasn't started until '68. And I don't think that Mercury used a 360, at least at that time. I just want to narrow down what the possibilities are. It's unlikely that I'll take my engine apart for purely investigative reasons. Thanks for your input...I'm learning a lot.
