[DeTomaso] Head #'s - can someone ID them?

[Dan Courtney]

The engine I just blew up is coded D2AE-CA, so I guess it really is a Boss. 
Dennis Quella installed the engine when he did the full restoration on The 
Winged Warrior in '85. Said he acquired several Boss crate engines at the 
same time.
Heads are also D2AE, shop didn't give me any follow up numbers, I'll double 
check.
The block I located is in New Jersey and will cost $400 to ship. I'd hate to 
be into this thing for over $1k and find out it's bad.
The seller told me it is coded D2AE but didn't mention a follow up number, 
so I'll have to run that one down. He said it's a 4 bolt HO block.

> Dan,
> DZAE is not a correct casting number, I think it must be D2AE and then you
