Identify a block

I picked up a block today thinking it was a Cleveland, but mabye it's not. The casting number on the block is D1AE-A2C. The thermostat housing bolts directly to the block, and the block has the big C6 bellhousing pattern. I was told the Cleveland had a small pattern, like the C4. Any ideas, or anything else I can look at?

I think it's a 400. After reading a FAQ, I measured the intake valley and it's about 12.7 inches, or the same as a 351M/400. Also, while the crank and rods won't spim, it looks like it has a four inch stroke.

Thanks anyway!

Above link shows locations of numbers.

That link above shows what the casting numbers and foundry symbols mean.

In case you still needed help, there are those.
