Mike, Someones been talking a lot, I do believe you have the factory installed 352 in your truck.

It is pretty easy to tell the difference. Look just above the oil pan at the bottom of the block. If it is a 427, you will see 3 bolt heads on each side of the block. These are the heads for the cross bolts. In addition, all late model 427 (65 and up) used screw in freeze plugs.
Good luck
