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 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.
front of block drivers side, below head.
Casting number is on the back, right hand side of the block just above the starter.

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.

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.
No.

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.
behind the distrubitor cap Try behind the starter mount location. this is where i find most block castings no.
