Interesting FE Motor

By John M. - 10/21/2001 6:40:30 PM; IP 208.58.211.238

I just bought a "360" out of a '74 or 74 F-350 to replace the 390 which lunched itself in my F-150. This motor appears to be factory rebuilt long block, with Ford rod bearings at .10 over. It has a serial number plate glued or epoxied to the side of the block just above the oil pan, but this plate isn't marked Ford. The sides of the block are what are interesting: There are raised flat ridges molded into the casting, running up and down the sides. I've never seen them before. What are they for? Do they reflect anything about this block? It has the usual 352 casting on the back but I don't know anything else about it.
I've got to put his thing in Monday afternoon, so if I can get any info from the block, it would be easy now. Where would I find the casting number and serial number or any other id factor which would help me ID this engine?
Thanks in advance for your help!
