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.

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.

The casting E5HN6015AC corresponds to a part used in Ford vehicles, specifically from the mid-1960s. The "E5" in the casting number indicates that it was produced in 1965. This casting is typically associated with components like engine blocks or heads from that era.
