    D1VE would be the code for a 1971 block, C8VE would be the code for heads that were first cast in 1968. The E suffix would indicate that this is the 5th change in the heads. "A" would have been the first change. These are great heads, although they are small combustion chamber models. Back when they were being produced by the factory, Sunoco 260 racing gasoline was available at the pump at most every corner service station, so running 11.0:1 on the street was no big deal.

    There are too many variables to estimate the power of your motor.
