3973414 Is a cylinder head casting number, which you wouldn't be able see without popping off the valve cover, I cant read the block casting number in the pic but, 3970014 would be a 350, 1970-76, and 3970024 would be a 307, 1969-73, these are the only blocks that have numbers starting in 397 and ending in 4. BTW, what does the SPID label on glovebox door say for the engine option?

nothing on the spec sheet , but just by looking i can see that the truck has 6cyl engine towers and they are mounted foward like they should be for an inline. and the motor sits away from the firewall.
its also a 3 on the tree column and tranny with the shifther moved to the floor.
but the truck has a 373 posi ,speed warning dash and HAD buddy buckets
and the above is listed on the spec sheet
