Is it a 390 or a 391?

I've got an older RV built on what I think is a 1975 F-500 chassis. Until now I thought the motor was a 390 but the local parts counter guy says it's possible it's a 391.

I guess I'd like to know for sure what it is. Anybody know how to tell?

Anybody know what the major difference between the 390 and 391 is?

go to the FE forum and those guys can help you out quicker i bet.. they've helped me a ton!!! the 391 has a longer cranksnout as well as being a larger diameter.... get some casting numbers off the heads and intake and then post em over in the other forum and kurt will be right on it..
