Well the dipstick doesnt go into the block. and this is what I think I could read off the block as of today. D8ve-6015-a3a 8a23 14

This 14 is printed in the valley and the side where the casting is on near where the starter bolts up.

302
D8=1978
V= Lincoln town Car
E= engine casting
6015=engine block
a3a=revised edition
8=8th year
a= 1st month (January)
23 = 23rd day
The part you are looking at is 302/5.0L engine block from a 1978 LIncoln Town Car!
Cast on January 23 1978
And that's the rest of the story.

ok but my engine guy said that its like a crazy block because of it having these big main caps that aren't stock any chance it could be a Mexican block or a sportsman block?
