Engine identification

So I have a 73 f100 with a 4 speed and a 302, from my understanding the 302 was not an option with 4wd in 73, I'm trying to find the year of the motor, I assume it's a newer motor because it has a serpentine belt. I found these numbers behind the starter but I'm not sure what they mean, any help would be greatly appreciated. Trying to find the year so I can find headers that will fit because I have a pair that I bought for my 90 that I used to have but I think they will hit the clutch linkage

E0AE would be a 1980 block. E representing the decade (c=60 d=70 e=80) and 0 being the year in that decade. Other than that I don't know more about it. If you google the numbers E0AE D3C all sorts of hits come up. Take a gander.

I'll give it a look, thanks!
