Default Got an FE cast question....

I have a lead on an engine.....the owner said it's a 361 truck engine...but he says it's a 1979 engine.....

I did the prelim stuff and asked for the cast numbers....he replied by just giving me the cast number off of the valve cover..

D8YE-9C485

It's supposedly out of an F700 truck....but I can only find references to 370's, 429's, and diesel engines in those trucks...

My FE reference book doesn't have block cast numbers up to '78. I think D4 is where it stops.....

You think this is really an FE? Service block maybe?
