Casting Numbers

I was hoping someone can help me tell what year block and heads I have, and what car it came from. The block number is D8VE-6015-A3A, the head is C9TE. It is currently in a 71 Mercury Comet GT.
The previous owner switched engines.

The block is 78 from a Lincoln (I think) heads are 69 from a truck (I think (again)). I got the years right but someone correct me if I got the sources wrong.

1979 F150 Custom: nothing under the hood at all (again)
1987 F150 XLT Lariat: 88 351W EFI
84 351W: soon to have 91 heads, Crane PowerMax cam, double roller timing chain, Edelbrock Performer intake & Holley carb and be put back in 79 F150
86 & 87 Bronco II: next winter's beater
