looks like a plain jane FE 360 with 2 barrel carb.
Good truck motor, not a gas sipper, easy to upgrade to a 390 with a crank rod upgrade.
Better not to convert to 4 barrel without a rebuild and making it a 390. IMHO

360 = 360 2V / 68 = 1968 / 2 = Change Level *
8 = 1968 / E K = FoMoCo use / 300 is the code for a 360 2V - VIN engine code Y / K = FoMoCo use.
* Change Level. In 1968, there were two different length pushrods used. This was a "running change" so there is no serial number break.
Pushrods: Level 1 (L/1) = 9.62" O/A length // Level 2 ( L/2) = 9.59" O/A Length.
