The 360 is the ugly twin sister of the 390. One boob sags lower than the other, but other than that, identical twins.

There might be some small differences in calibration but they will interchange.

The 4th digit of the VIN is the engine code. 1968/76 F100/350: H = 390 2V / M = 390 4V (1974/76) / Y = 360 (all are 2V's).

1968/76 F100/250 4WD: The only available V8 engine was the 360.
