noob with a question

I just picked up a 77 f150. The guy says it has a 360 in it, but every place I look says that a 360 wasn't offered in 77. If it was swapped, will the tune up parts from any year 360 work? It also has a 4-spd and I can't get much more than walking speed in first gear, is this normal?

Yep, that would be normal for the 4 speed. You might as well drive it like a 3 speed unless you are climbing a hill.

As far as the part's go there should be a serial # on the block, find it and post it someone will tell you what year the motor is. Basic tuneup part's and the like's are all pretty much the same.

Do the sparkplugs look like this / / \ \ or Like this / / / / ?

How many valve cover bolts are there on one cover ?

The valve cover has 5 bolts and the plugs are like / / \ \ . With the block as the underline

And I can't find any numbers anywhere, where should I look

Some early '77's came with the 360.
