Don in NiagaraHi Lenny and Judy
The "C" is the engine model code. The 5.9s in the Breakaways is the "B" model range of smaller displacement engines.
Yours is an 8.3 litre 6 cylinder turbo-charged aftercooled engine just like ours (6CTA 8.3).
If I remember right, it likely gives 240 hp @ 2200 rpms and 645 lb-ft of torque @ 1500 rpms. This engine was mated to Spartan chassis with GVW rating of base - 25750 lbs to max 29640 lbs.
