What engine do I have

I just got a 58 F100. It has a Y-block with a quadrajet carb on a stock 4 bbl manifold.

How do I tell the block ID and head ID numbers to find out which engine I have.

Thanks Joanne

Joanne,
The eastest way is to look at the ID plate on the glove box door. Look at the model number and the final letter is the engine code. It should look like F100* with * being the engine code. My 60 manual list the following codes:
B 292 MD (export only)
C 292 MD
D 292 MD
E 292 (export only)
F 332 HD
J 223
N 302 HD
P 401 SD
Q 447 SD
R 534 SD
I don't think that they changed engine codes every year so these should be good for a 58, but I could be wrong.
Good Luck

Thanks Bob but I do not have an ID plate on my glove box. I have not found one on the truck, There are no holes where an ID plate would have been mounted on the glove box.

Thanks Joanne

Check the Door pillar by the hinges on the drivers side for the ID plate. The mid to late cars and trucks had the plates riveted between the hinges.
