engine question

I am looking at a 1975 360 engine out of a pickup. Which is the same as a 390 block. I am unsure weither it has the oil passages drilled for hydraulic lifters. I have read some places that the pre 1968 blocks are the ones that were not drilled but i need to make sure before i purchase the motor. I'm going to stroke it with 428 crank witch will result in 410 ci. I will top it of with a ford tri power that i have been saving for 20 years for this project. Thanks

All 360's had hydraulic camshafts/lifters. You won't have any problem with that. Good luck with your project.
