Hey Guys!
So today I went and picked up the "390" and c-6 trans, brought it home, and got to looking at the block, heads and intake numbers. With my limited knowledge here is what I think I have....
Block Casting: D1VE-AA (with a 460 cast into the front of the block)
Head Casting: D2VE-AA
Intake Casting: D0VE-9425-B
Exhaust Casting: D3VE-9430-AB
Maybe a 460? or 429 Thunderjet?? Either way, definitely not a 390 eh?
Any help in deciphering this mess would be greatly appreciated!!!

Got pictures of the engine? The intake arrangement and stuff would be useful...

If you click on the link above you will get to one thread that will give you some info. If you use search and type in D2VE-AA you will get hits to about 20 threads talking about it. The information you find may not be what you want to hear or it could put you into overload mode................................
