Look at the back of the crank and if it has a halfmoon cut shape in it then it is a 360 crank, if it has a square cut shape then it is a 390. That is what I have noticed and heard. Guys....

also if it was a 390 crank it should have something like 1U or 2U stamped in it somewhere.

Usually stamped on the second or third, what I would call a throw weight.

Well it has to be a 360/390 block since they both have the same bore.

D6TE = 1976 truck engine, the 360/390 are the same casting.
