Same old ? FT block identification

I know this has been beat around for a long time, but I still need to ask.......I picked up a complete engine (less 2-bbl carb) and the numbers are as follows
Intake C9AE9425B
Wtr Pmp D2TE8505B
Heads C4TE6090E
Build Date 3L12 (Dec 12, 1963)

I can't find the casting number on the block.... Where am I going wrong??

Intake manifold is 1969/70 Galaxie/LTD 390, replacement FT water pump at least 1972, FT heads introduced in 1964.

It could be a 330 2V Medium Duty FT engine, with a 390 intake manifold from a car.

Casting date: A = January; M = December, the letter I is skipped.

Please ask further questions in the LARGE TRUCK forum, most members of this forum have pickups.
