Because the 429 Cobra jet and Super Jet were available only in Mustang, Cougar, Torino and Cyclone, only a handful of casting number will be found. Most common are D0OE-9430-A (right-hand) or D0OE-9431-A, D1ZE-9431-AA, D1ZE-9431-CA1, D1Z1-9431-CA2(left-hand). More left-hand types are listed due to different applications.

D0AE-D blocks have two-bolt mains. D0AE-C and D3ZE-A blocks have four-bolt mains. This information enables you to identify these blocks without pulling the oil pans. 1970-74

Pull one valve cover and look for numbers, this will give me a good idea what you have. 2v or 4v head ? aluminum intake manifold or iron. If you want more information about your 351, give me the more information you can give me, anything will be helpfull. if you pull the oil pan look for crank number and connecting rod bolt end shape.

The casting numbers on most cleveland heads is on the bottom of the intake runner, you will need a mirror to see it with out pulling the head. The carb is no off a cleveland it is a 75 model and cleveland production stopped in 74. It looks like you have something that was made out of a lot of different engines. The exhaust manifolds have been replaced for sure. Your intake is a stock iron job, but you could have a 400 and not a 351C, you can check the block casting numbers that are located right above the starter and that will tell you if you have a true cleveland or not. You could still have some more missmatching but pull the numbers off the heads and the block and you should know about every thing you need to.
