High riser heads?? Probably not. Those are like hens teeth and worth good money. It would also have a 2/4 intake on it. From past experience I don't think there was a single 4 intake made for high riser heads. At least not by Ford.
I agree, without pulling a head and doing some measuring there is NO way to be sure. The one way to check for a 427 is the cross bolts. Now, there are some that might not have been done, but that is a slim number.
I'd bet it's a 352/360/390. Seeing that the casting numbers are 1964-1965, I'd bet it came from a pickup or galaxie.

If the block is a 65(C5) it would be a 352 or 390. The car engines then had gold paint on the valve covers and Blue on the 352. I have found in the past if you pull the oil pan and look at the crank, the 352's had sqaure throws on the crank and the 390's had chanfer cuts on them. Has anyone else seen this?
