Help idenidentify my engine

Trying to figure out what year engine I have in my truck. These are the only numbers I could find on it. Can anyone help? Previous owner said it was a 460 but that's all he said. Thanks in advance sorry for the poor pictures.

351M/400 335 series: intake is 12.7" wide the 351C is narrow. The 351M and 400 are identical externally, only internal parts examination can tell them apart.
