What FE engine do I have?

Ok here's the deal, I bought a 1962 t-bird and was told it had a 390ci in it but I'm not sure now that I have pulled it out. Maybe you guys can tell me what I have by the numbers I got off it.
Block: D4TE I think that is a 74 truck engine...391ci?
Intake manifold: C2AE9425C
Heads: 92E on one and 92R on the other, "2143" and "575" on both heads between spark plugs.
Exhaust manifolds: 5750731 91E

I was told by a local engine shop that if the crankshaft was 1 3/4" where the crank pulley mounted it was a 391 and if it was 1 5/16" it was a 390....is that right?

If this is a 391 would it be any good for performance? I assume it would have a steel crank, but are there aftermarket performance parts available for it? Will anything made for a FE engine fit on it?

Thanks for the help....sorry about all the questions.

Larry
