Identify motor

I recently came across a motor that I want to make sure it is a 460. The block number is hard to read but I think is says:
DIVE 6015-A2, heads: D3VE-A2A, Rods: D6VE-AA. I could not find a number on the crank. I want to build this motor for towing and all around driving. I would like to increase the power output but still run on pump gas. Should I look for some early heads to increase compression? This is my first big block build up and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Craig

D1VE = 1971 429/460 block
D3VE = 1973 429/460 heads with 91 cc comb. chamber
D6VE = 1976 rods

Need the crank casting # to tell for sure whether it's a 460 or not.
