Show original supplier description
The Ford D2AE-CA is an engine block casting number with applications linked to specific high-performance Ford engines. This casting is primarily associated with the 1972 351 Cobra Jet HO Mustang Torino. The D2AE-CA block is often identified as having a 4-bolt main configuration, a feature desirable for increased engine strength and durability under high stress. However, information suggests that the D2AE-CA casting can also be found on 2-bolt main blocks, meaning its configuration is not exclusively 4-bolt mains. Further verification may be required depending on the specific application and desired build. This casting number is a key identifier for the 351 Cleveland engine family, with production spanning from late 1971 through 1974.
