U15 = Bronco wagon, 4x4

H = 351M 2V V8 (8 bolts in valve cover)

L = Michigan Truck Plant

EK1577 = 1979 numerical series

Thanks I'm just going to pick it up, its basically rust free and totally all there and stock . I was kinda hoping you say 400 it does have chrome Ford valve covers and it's been 20 years since I sold my 79 and the 351m looked wide in there like a 460
mine says built 4/ 79 red and white with the slider side glass ,he also gave me one of those new fuel injection carbs in the box and new tank so I'm going to have a new project .

Congrats. Mine was also built 4/79 post up some pictures when u get it. If it’s got chrome valve covers then someone has dressed it up at some point. Could be a 460. If he gave u efi kit that could very well be because not too sure if that will work well with 351m.
