Trying to figure out what year engine I have in my truck. These are the only numbers I could find on it. Can anyone help? Previous owner said it was a 460 but that's all he said. Thanks in advance sorry for the poor pictures.

 

Engine Identification:
=================
351C/M/400 335 series: 8 bolts in rectangular valve covers. Timing chain housing is part of block. Thermostat housing on block. Exhaust bolt holes diagonal.

351M/400 335 series: intake is 12.7" wide the 351C is narrow. The 351M and 400 are identical externally, only internal parts examination can tell them apart.

351W/302/5.0L 6 bolts on trapezoidal valve covers. Thermostat housing on intake. Exhaust bolt holes horizontal.

429/460 385 series: 7 bolts in rectangular valve cover

352/360/390/427/428 FE series: Intake goes under valve covers.

 

It's got the 7 bolt valve covers I know it's a 429/460 just trying to figure out a year.

 

Hang in there some one will run those #'s and tell ya. I am not a #'s guy...
