Any Ford brains in here? Motor identification help needed.
I'm having a hard time identifying this motor. I was told it was a Cleveland 351 out of a 1979 truck. Well, after some research it seems that is incorrect. The Cleveland wasn't made after 1974 according to every site I've researched them on.
So today I went down to the shop and pulled the casting marks off the block. They read D2AE-CA and directly under these numbers it says 3K13.
From what I read, D2 stands for 1972, and AE stands for Ford engine. The CA seems to come up under different applications, all for a 351, but it doesn't specify how to differentiate between the different ones.
I guess the 3k13 represents the build date, but I haven't found any solid info on this number.
Anyone here have any experience with this? Is there anywhere else I can pull numbers from to match this motor, without having to take it apart? It has a aftermarket intake manifold and carburetor on it, so those numbers wont do me any good.
