Figuring the tranny

Hey guys, I'm swapping in a 300 inline 6 into my (56) f600, but the 300 I just bought is out of a luggage conveyor cart, and I'm lost as to how to find what tranny came with it.

Here's what's on it: rf-e6tp-7006-ba
on the top it says 64

I'd also like to identify the block, where the heck do I look? I've got a couple pictures of the engine cast/serial number.

Any help is super appreciated...

Any trans designed to fit a small block ford will work with the 4.9 (300). It would be interesting to know if you have a forged crank, and the big exhaust manifold.

How do I find that out? I've got a picture of the block casting, but nobody seems to know how to figure out what it is...
