I have a Y block ECG 6015D engine with one C1TE head (also has a H 33 stamp) and one head with what looks like ECRR or ECR?.

I found the C1TE head as a 61-64 292, and a ECR? as a 1956-57 on a couple of websites, but I can't find anything that shows what the D suffix on the block means.

Supposedly this originally came out of a 56 truck. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

I would think its a 272 DEARBORN block, hence the D, Tongue

I think "D" simply stands for Dearborn, MI.

Re codes:

ECG = 1956 272

ECR = 56-57 272 HD Truck

A part number suffix has nothing to do with what plant manufactured a component. i.e. - "D" is the fourth design variation of the particular component, a 6015 being a cylinder block.

The plant that casted the block would be identified by DIF = Dearborn Iron Foundry, or CF = Cleveland Foundry.

For the most part 272 and 292's were manufactured at the Dearborn Engine Plant and 312's at Cleveland Engine Plant #2.

An ECR head from HD truck had sodium filled exhaust valves, 7/16 in. stems. I measured the combustion chamber volume on one several years ago and it was 73cc, compared to the 77 cc CITE, FYI.
