What does the -C mean? I have never heard of that designation in regards to an 8N.

Look up at the post by wore out, it is explained there. It is just a misunderstanding of the OP about the casting codes.
Edit: Or I should say the OP saw it cast in the engine and added the C behind 8N.

C indicates the revision. There was an 8n, 8n-b and 8n-c. With c being the latest revision (late 1951) which added the small bump in compression and the distributor dust cover. 8n-b (early 1950 I think), this revision included the side distributor and proofmeter. I think the original 8n (1947) has the front distributor and no proofmeter. I might be wrong on a couple of these but this is how I think it went. My early 1951 has the side distributor, proofmeter and is a 8n-b casting.
 
My 1951 8N-C (on casting), has side mount distributor and Proofmeter. My newly acquired 1948 8N has just 8N on casting, front distributor and no Proofmeter. zuhnc
