You can try the wire down the plug hole check, mark at TDC and BDC and measure. 3.5 = 352 or 360 (360 would be OEM, a 352 would have been an older engine transplanted). 3 3/4 = 390.
The engines--360 & 390 for that year--are identical externally. That is probably true for all years of production as well.
Is it a runner? Are you going to rebuild it?
