I was reading somewhere that the 534 weighs over 1000 lbs. that would be one beastly towing engine....almost like a diesel....has the numbers like one too....

They are part of the fe series dating back to the 1958-59 era. These were all big blocks that included the 330,352,360,361,390,391,410,427,and 428.
The 330,331,360, 390, and 391 were all used in medium duty trucks through the 70s. The 429 and 460 are part of the 385 series and are not interchangeable with fe motors. Check out, "How to rebuild your big block Ford" Good resource.
