Hi,
Great forum here so I thought I would post a question about my new to me '79 F-250 4x4. I bought it to tow an 8,000lb boat and trailer (wt??) from N.CA to N.WA, plus I,ve always kinda wanted a '70's era Ford "custom" 4x4. It did the trick, but when I bought it I was told, like apparently so many people, that it had a '70 Police Interceptor engine. I have receipts for all the work done on it and was wondering if I could get some help interpreting it.

It shows a 1970 429 bored .30 over; Mooly rings, balanced; Crank .010-.010; Cam 262-272;, 479-504 lift, etc. It appears to have been rebuilt, was mated with a C6 auto, this was about ten years and 11,000mi before I bought it and it runs great, except that it does not want to shut off right away and there is some minor valve chatter when I get on at certain RPMs.

Anybody know what the engine might actually be, and what kinda HP/Torque its putting out? I think I saw a D1VE on the block and C 8Ve-E on the heads.

Any help from the experts here is appreciated!
