Well, your new buddy there knows:
--NOTHING about the 410
--NOTHING about Ford casting codes
--Only enough about the FE to think that this is an FE* manifold. Of course, as veteran member 69cj once said, "....Helen Keller could spot it."
The casting code starts "D5TE..". This translates to"
D = 1970s
5 = 5th year, thus 1975
T = Truck
E = Engine engineering department.
You also have a date code showing, 7K4. This would be:
7 = 1977
K = October
4 = 4th day
This may be an FT manifold or a service replacement. I will check a couple things and may be back.
The 410 was 1966-67 only, in Mercury cars. There is NO chance this manifold has anything to do with a 410.
On edit: It is an FT manifold. The FE exhaust crossover ports are offset. The FT ports are in the center, as shown in your pics. More pics and diagrams here:

That manifold won't work for an FE motor. It was used on 361 and 391 FT medium truck engines, and possibly their smog variants. (359/389)

Intake for a 391FT HD truck. The large heat riser ports give it away was a HD truck manifold along with the date code.
391HD truck engines where the last of the FE/FT series with four barrel carbs.
I never heard of a FE power pickup with factory four barrel and the last FE powered car engine with four barrel was a 70 428.
It would have been on some of the last FT's produced, Ford switched to the 370/429 series engines in MD/HD trucks in 78 or 79.

Too bad that manifold isn't closer to where I live. A lot of the local farmers (my brother included), pay good money to put those manifolds on their farm trucks that originally had the factory two-barrel carb. While they are still underpowered when hauling 500 bushel of grain, they actually do help. A local mechanic here tops them off with an aftermarket four-barrel carb and everyone is happy.

370/429 replaced FT engines in 1979.

Pacer and Corsair cancelled at the end of the 1959 model run.
The only 1960 Edsel's (entire line cancelled November 16, 1959) were Ranger 2/4 dr. sedans/2 dr. hardtop/convertible and Villager 6 & 9 pass. station wagons. Available engines: 223 I-6, 292 2V and 332 2V
FoMoCo expected to sell 200,000 Edsel's in 1958, but only 64,110 were sold.
The Edsel Division was then folded into the L/M Division forming M-E-L and Edsel's prexy James J. Nance (former prexy of Packard) was fired.
Ed: 7K4 = Intake manifold cast the 4th week (4) of October (K), 1977 (7). A = January, M = December, the letter I was skipped.

4v 390s and 410s
410 will NOT work on 390 or most fe they were med to high rise engines you will have half to one inch taller intake over heads stick your fingers in the manifold only 66-67 made 410s
4v was on pickups in 76 77 have three of them and near everyone in the rural area around were i grew up had em ford cleaned out warehouses full of 390 dropped the compression put on hardened heads those years have two 410s one minus the crank and block coworkers kid cleaning out steal storage thought it was to go with the scap and that 410 runs circles around a 390 but with the soft heads the valves will hammer up into the heads with todays crap gas i ran propane on one did alright
manifold in pic top of page appears to be one of the 76-77 390 intakes its low and a d5 cast date

You can run later intakes on early heads and early intakes on late heads. You won’t have a perfect port match but they will work
I’ve ran a 428CJ intake on 406 heads and presently have a 406 tri power to go on a set of Dove aluminum 428 heads
