Ford 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-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.

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.
On the drivers side near the bell housing is cast with the model number. It is fairly large. Just above that, near the head, is the serial number. It will be 7 digits. On the passenger side, the block casting number is visible just aft of the injection pump. It will be 5 digits.
That would be the first year 348 engine, 1958. The 3732811 block was used only for that model year. It came in passenger cars and was available with 250, 280 or 315 HP.

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 D1VE 601SA2B is for a:D = 1970's1 = 1971This piece has a casting number for 1971.V = the model is a LincolnE = the part is an engine component6015 = [your 's' is actually a 5] it is an engine base assembly piece (or the actual engine itself)A2B = the engineering versionIn conclusion, this casting number tells you that the part is for the engine of 1 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III. Probably a 460 cu in, 7.5 L, V8 engine.
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.

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.
4.3 v6 gm late model
1970 - 1973. 200 HP.
While I cannot narrow it down to a model, the rear end casting number is from a truck by International Harvester. International Harvester is now known as Navistar International Corporation.
For the gas model, it's a 2.3 litre. Casting number is 4ZD1.
There is no contact number available for You Model and Act--after you have attended an open casting call, they will contact you. Here is the link to their website, where you can find more information: http://www.youmodelandact.com/main.php
The model number will be stamped on a plug on the motor block pop off the motor cowling and look
