The fourth digit "E" in your VIN indicates you should have a 361 2V or 4V H.D. V8. Assuming of course your motor and/or driver's door (complete with VIN tag!) hasn't been swapped out sometime during the truck's life.
Hopefully this info. will get you by until a more complete decode becomes available.

1963/79: Warranty Plate riveted to the left door face below the latch. 1980 thru today: Certification Label glued to the B pillar below the striker plate, or glued to the left door face below the latch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ggage: Compare the VIN on the Warranty Plate to the VIN on the title to see if they match.
People replaced damaged left doors with used doors. 99.9% of the time, they failed to install the original Warranty Plates on the replaced doors.
