I am not sure how much this will help but the D1AE-6015-DA 10 breaks down like this from the book that I have. It was a 1971 as you said, the A means it originally came in a Galaxie, and the E = Engine engineering. The 6015 is for the base engine and the rest indicates if a part has been changed. But there are so many variations on this that I am not sure just what all of it means. As for all the measurements, you will have to wait for one of the engine guys to really answer your question.
