Hey, check out the fordification site under the Technical Articles.
The engine code is Y, but you have to know the year of the truck. They appear to be different by year.

Actually, I guess there are only 2 choices. If its a 67, then its a 352 engine.
68-72 would be a 360 engine.

I'm seeing a F350 with a 360 made at the Michigan Truck plant. This is assuming it's a 1970's truck.

F35 = F350.
Y = 360 2V
C = Oakville Ontario Canada Truck Assembly Plant.
L70085 = 1971
Y: 1966/67 F100/350 = 352 2V // 1968/76 F100/350 = 360 2V
D: 1965 F100/350 = 352 2V
