Not sure what the 105 means but the 4k ?? is December 1974 and whatever day of the month. so it's a 1975 engine and in a an F500 most likely a 330.
330's are basically worthless if that was what you're after.

What parts are you ordering that don't fit?
A "105" block is a post 1971 block. Prior to that, "352" was cast into every block.
There are two versions of the 330. The MD or medium duty, has the same crank and distributor drive of the 360 pickup engine. The HD, heavy duty, has the larger crank snout and larger distributor drive.
What is the 4th digit of your VIN? That will tell you the OEM engine at least.

I have a 1975 ford f500 with what I thought was a 330.. but the engine numbers don't come back as anything the numbers behind the oil filter are 105 and I know what that means but the rest are 4k86? as far as I can tell. Can anyone shed some light on what this might be I can't find any that are 4k anything
That is just the date code. Need the block casting engineering number to really have an idea what is it . FYI the date code translates to 74 Oct 26 The block casting engineering number will be on the passenger side of the block just ahead of and a bit below the front core/freeze plug.
