The FE Block was first introduced as a 352ci for the Edsel Division of Ford in '58.
Josh is correct, U-Hauls got 391s 'n stuff...

I've always thought The FE is called FE Because it's made of Iron, and that's the chemical name for Iron on the Periodic Table of Elements.

Does the fender/ cowl badge say F100 or F150?
It has a normal DSO (72) of San Jose as well so it wasn't a special one off or some freak foreign truck either like has been mentioned for other "F130" trucks.
Pretty cool!
