Just removed the starter and wrote down these numbers located at back /underside of block.Need help in ID of this block:

 

D2AE-6015-BA-12 and below that was 3D18 or 3018?

 

Car was to have a 351W is it and how wuold I know date code?

 

Vin# 9F03H1XXXXX---Build sheet show tag K203S H any help would be a lot of help to me!

Thanks, Reese

The best I could do:

 

D2AE-6015-BA-12 Is an engineering number (D2 = 1972)

 

3D18 = 1973 April 18

 

No 0 or O in the date code due to confusion. So the following could be a Q

 

3018 = 3Q18 ??? = 1973 March 18

Thanks NorCalTroy, those links confirmed the 351W and not a matching # car! Which is OK due to changing the color of ext. and int.anyway.
