351M & 400M Connecting Rod Casting Marks Location, pic & Info; "...The casting ID codes are clearly visible on this rod end cap. Once again, note that the connecting rods in this D7TE engine are the original 400 design from 1971 (D1AE-AA). Many M-block components did not change significantly from the original 400 design. The machined surface in the middle of the connecting rod end is evidence of factory balancing. Sometimes, you can find a casting date code on the other side of the connecting rod end from the casting ID codes..."

351M & 400M Crankshaft Casting Marks Location, pic & Info; "...Cleveland Foundry (CF) mark on #1 main bearing cap. Main bearing caps #1 through #4 are marked with the position number, an arrow pointing toward the front of the engine, a foundry mark, and sometimes a date code. The date code on this cap is 8F12 (June 12, 1978). Crankshaft ID code (1KA) for a 351M crankshaft. The 351M ID code is cast into the side of the first counterweight. Just below the casting ID code in the picture is a letter "H" stamped into a machined surface. That is probably a quality control mark. (and 3.) Machined and drilled parts of the rear crankshaft counterweight. These are adjustments to balance the crankshaft at the factory. Cleveland Foundry (CF) mark on #5 main bearing cap. The #5 main bearing cap is usually not marked because it is unique, wider than the other main bearing caps, with a groove for the rear main seal. Note that the main bearing cap in this D7TE engine is the original 400 design from 1971 (D1AE-AA). .."

351M & 400M Location, pic & Info; "...This is the block casting ID code for a 77-up MCC truck block (D7TE-A-2-B). Notice the code appears upside down, about an inch and a half below the deck, on the right side of the engine, toward the rear. If this engine was installed in a vehicle, you wouldn't be able to see the block casting ID code without removing the starter.All blocks designed for trucks have the D7TE prefix. Truck blocks have a revised #3 main (thrust) bearing support web to withstand the additional thrust load imposed by a clutch..."
