Considering the amount of suffix's, I would say about a 73-74 460 block.
What are the date codes on it ?
ie: * 2C25 *
What numbers are on the heads?

All 385sother than the PI used those heads from '73 through '78. With the DIVE block, as nathan said, there's no telling what the engine was originally in. Unless the pistons were changed at some point in time, you have a '73-78 8.0:1 c/r 429 or 460.
Out of curiosity, why are you trying to determine what vehicle the factory installed that engine in?
