Mesuring the stoke is the only way to tell the difference. Blocks are the same. The data I posted is the data from FORD parts books. Numberdummy will chime in a if he sees this and correct any mistakes and add info as needed but Y is 360 and H is 390 for this year.

...and many folks don't know the difference between a 360 and a 390 as they appear identical, and will call either one a 390 as that's the better-known engine. Only difference between them is the longer stroke of the 390 so it's impossible to tell externally by just looking.
If it's original, the engine ID tag should still be attached to the intake manifold by the bolt that holds the coil, it will have the displacement right on it.
