With Ford, they began using this form of block casting in the late 1950's. They assigned each decade a letter which begins the casting number. 1950 began the coding with letter 'B'. Each subsequent decade received the following letter. The first number after the first letter is the year of that decade in which the part was modeled for.
This means that your block casting number d4te is for a:
D = 1970's
4 = 1974
T = the model is a truck
E = the part is an engine component
However...since that's all the casting number you provided I am assuming that it is the complete engine. That means that it is a 1974 Ford truck, presumably the 6th generation F-Series. Without more information that's all I can tell you.
That casting was used for all Ford 5.0 from 1987 to 1995.
capri, cortina, escort
This casting number is for a 351 Cleveland big block engine from 1972....With Ford, they began using this form of block casting in the late 1950's. They assigned each decade a letter which begins the casting number. 1950 began the coding with letter 'B'. Each subsequent decade received the following letter. The first number after the first letter is the year of that decade in which the part was modeled for.This means that your block casting number D2AE-CA is for a:D = 1970's2 = 1972This piece has a casting number for 1972.The remainder of the casting number tells you about the part number and engineering number...thus it's a 351 Ford Cleveland big block engine designed for a 1972 model.
Ford 7.8l
What is testing number for 1987 Ford Ranger 2.3 L
The casting number shows this to be a Ford 302 V8 made in 1978.

WHAT YEAR WAS THIS ENGINE BUILT
With Ford, they began using this form of block casting in the late 1950's. They assigned each decade a letter which begins the casting number. 1950 began the coding with letter 'B'. Each subsequent decade received the following letter. The first number after the first letter is the year of that decade in which the part was modeled for. This means that your block casting number D8VE-6015-ASA is for a: D = 1970's 8= 1978 V = the model is a Lincoln E = the part is an engine component (or, in this case, an engine) 6015 = it is an engine base assembly piece (or, again, the actual engine) ASA = the engineering version In conclusion, this casting number tells you that the part (the engine) is for a 1978 Lincoln Mark V continental. The engineering number tells us that it is a Ford 400 cu in, 6.6 L engine.
