It's not a part number per se but rather an engineering number.
D6 = 1976
D2 -1972
T = Truck
Is the block an FE? Or did you get pieces for an engine? 1976 seems rather late since 1976 was the last year the FE was equipped in anything. A late casting run I suppose cuz most anything was possible.

D6TE is a 1976 block casting number prefix. Number should read: D6TE-6015- followed by a two letter suffix.
Block casting numbers cannot be cross referenced to Ford part numbers.
D2TE-AA head: 1972/76 F100/350 360/390 with hardened valve seats.

2X. Ford never ID'd their engines like other makes. Ford didn't take in to account the engine might come out of the original engine bay. It was meant to stay there and be reliable to the owner.

Notes taken about part #'s. And it is D3TE not D6TE. No other numbers following D3TE.
The engine came in the 1968 F250 dually I dragged home a few weeks ago. It has 20,000 miles on a rebuild and was running. So it looks like someone threw an earlier 2 barrel intake on a 73-76 truck. The P.O. also threw in a 4 barrel intake and carb off a 67 Galaxie 500 that I'll put on he engine before installing it in my crewcab.
This is a short term remedy until I get my stroker built.
Thanks.

1" spacer? It is an autolite but I can't find a # on it anywhere except a 7 on one of the corners. The manifold it came on (the owner said it was all factory) came off a 68 Galaxie 500 390.

If it's an Autolite it should have a number cast within the "clock face" on left (driver's) side of the main body. A 4V Autolite with 1.08 is like 480 cfm, a 1.12 is a 600 cfm. Then there are the rarer, IIRC, 1.19 and 1.21 versions.. What ya got?

Wait... let's not jump to conclusions. Carb sizing is dependent on the engine's volumetric efficiency, displacement, and operating RPM range. Here, see for yourself: http://www.summitracing.com/expertad...cfm-calculator
A 480 on a 390 FE at 4,500 RPM has room to spare... it just doesn't look as cool as a 600 or 650 on a data sheet. The smaller CFM/venturis helps the A/F charge velocity... There was some guy in here with an 850 on a 351M.. talk about over-carbing...AND on a heavy truck nonetheless.
Besides, how many nuts do you know that can rattle off cfm numbers based on those lil numbers? Uh-huh.

See what I mean?
2X Hio.
Also, as I recall the 67 and 68 versions had adjustable secondary air flaps exactly like a quadrajet. Nice to be able to adjust how early or late the secondaries kick in. But I think adjusting idle mixture is like a carter AVS. You adjust both air and fuel.

Hahahaha! Ka-looosh.
Ummmm..... I know the numbers cuz I bleed Ford blue and haunt swap meets and wrecking yards. Last Year I picked up a decent 1.12 for $40.. it's slated for my 65 'Stang.
