360FE was a very common engine in 73-76 trucks. You can tell that its an FE engine because the valve cover bolts to the heads and to the intake. Maybe a better way to explain it is that the valve cover covers approximately 3/4" of the intake. Be very wary if the seller tells you its a 390. Its impossible to visually tell the difference between the 2 engines because a 390 is a 360 with a longer stroke.
The other engine choices were 300 inline 6 and 302 V8 if Im not mistaken.
