needing information

Hey guys im Charles Gleason. I have a 1977 ford f-150 with a 351m or the 400m in it. The casting number is D7TE-A3B. i called Summit and Jegs and they said ford never made one of these engines. I did some reading on this site before i got registered on and can not find where i was at but there was one gental men with this same problem. I am trying to make this truck a race truck and can not find a intake for it. I ordered one for a 351M and all but one of the wholes lines up. I am just trying to find out what engine this is so that way i know what parts to get.

The 410 was last made in 1967 and used only by Mercury. A FE engine is pretty distinctive looking.

1) 410 FE
2) 360 FE front and all the same

Which hole doesn't line up ? There is a easy way to tell a 351M/400 from a small block. The 351M/400's water neck for the top rad hose bolts to the block. The 302 351W bolts to the intake manifold.
