Probably and FT engine, looks similar to an FE but has it's differences. The guys can correct me but I would venture to say it's probably a 361ci. Take a look at the VIN number on the drivers door and post it, maybe we can sort it out for you.

Yup, my Motor's says "E" Is a 2bbl 361.
In '72, the only 4bbl FT was the 391
Since it looks original, any chance there's the aluminum tag bolted to the intake? That would tell you...

I looked and couldn't find a tag. Who knows what could have happened in the past. The engine is all gunked up with grease that now looks like tar, so if anyone changed stuff out, it was a long time ago. I has a Holley on it, but it looks like original equipment because it has all the manual chock and throttle cable hooked up. I guess you can pull the throttle cable if you want to keep the RPMs up while operating the dump bed. By the way, what do you mean by pulling #1 and #4 plugs? Can't I just pull one plug and measure the stoke with something while turning the engine over?
Thanks

When you pull the #1 and #4 and the engine is a top dead center with #1 at tdc, #4 will be at bottom dead center, so you just measure the difference. I'd think it would be more accurrate because it might be hard to find bottom dead center when cranking it...
