1977 Ford F600 engine?

F61EVX81472

Just bought this beautiful truck the other day and I can't figure out the engine. Ive searched all the vin decoding sites. Best I could find is that E = unknown....

Also I'd like to restore this truck over the winter.. Any good sites or some sort of ordering book?

Please some help would be great.

From 1977 till now, somebody could've replaced the orig engine with most anything. But most likely it came from the factory with one of the three 330 FH engines, light duty, med. duty or heavy duty.

F61 = F600 2WD (gas).

E = 361 2V or 4V FT engine.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

X81472 = 1977.
