		| If early 60s it's a plain 390, later a 428 or 361. |

		On a block dated from the later 60s, it's most likely a 428.  Since it has a 361/391 bore, yours is usual.
  Still, the forums have so far only found "trends" in the markings, and not hard rules.  As long as a 15/64" drill bit will not fit between the cylinders at any reachable location from the six core holes, you've likely got a solid starting point.  A sonic map will tell you for sure.
