Ford 7.8l
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.

This means that your block casting number D9AE-6015-ED-18 is for a: D = 1970's 9 = 1979 A = the model is a generic full size Ford E = the part is an engine component (or the complete engine) 6015 = it is an engine base assembly piece (or, again, the complete engine) ED18 = the engineering version In 1979, Ford produced the Ford LTD, Ford Custom 500, and Ford Country Squire in the full size models. So, after all that, we know for sure that the engine is from a 1979 Ford and it's model is one of the listed.

I am familiar with block casting in Fords...however I am not sure if the same rules reach to Chevrolet.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 D9AE-6015-ED-3 is for a:D = 1970's9 = 1979This piece has a block casting number for 1979.
came from a 1978 Lincoln class engine
1975 ford truck engine block
1974
No the decoding would require an expert machanic and one of those I am not.
1971 302 from ford torino
the first letter stands for the decade A=40s B= 50s C= 60s D=70s E=80s The second number is the year of the decade N stands for tractor block 2nd N stands for tractor application 6015 stands for tractor block part letter after 6015 is the revision of the block if it has been changed. So your number says it is a 1982 tractor block used for a tractor application
