only applies to the 330 Heavy Duty engine used 1964/72 and the 361 & 391 engines used 1964/78.
Originally (1964/72) there were four FT engines: 330 2V Medium Duty, 330 2V Heavy Duty, 361 2V and 391 4V.
The 330 Medium Duty is FE based, the 330 Heavy Duty used 1964/72 is based on the 361/391.
The 330 Medium Duty used 1965/67 used the FE 352 crank (
C4AZ6303L), this same engine used 1968/73 used the the 1968/72 FE 360 crank (
C8TZ6303A).
And...the
so called 330
Heavy Duty engine used 1974/78 used the 1973/76 FE 360 crank (
D3TZ6303B).
Ford confusion: Ford
dropped the 330 Heavy Duty engine in 1972, then...called the
former 330 Medium Duty the 330 Heavy Duty!
Bottom Line: The 330 Heavy Duty engine used 1973/78 is nothing more than the former 330 Medium Duty engine used 1964/72.
