Reply to "Unusual Cleveland Block?"

George PAdmin.

It seems you have a block cast on October 27, 1969 ... destined for an H code (2 barrel) or M code (4 barrel) motor. Eventually to be installed in a 1970 model Ford or Mercury.

The X&Y markings show up in the D2AE-CA blocks (US mfg ~June '71 - June '74).

If the majority of your blocks do not have the X&Y markings, that would lead me to believe you have mostly D0AE & D1AE blocks in your collection. Do any more of them have the extra drain holes in the lifter valley?
