Hints
1. Very common engine found in both trucks and cars.
2. Has timing cover mounted dip stick.
3. Has 3-inch main bearings!
With the hints and what you can see in the picture you should be able to figure out one if its two common displacements... guess that's another hint! Also if you can guess the year +/- 3 years I will mail you cookie! Not joking! I WILL mail you a cookie!

Naaa that was the very early 70's man! Take they Cadillac 500 for example. In 1970 it had 400 Hp. Then they dropped the compression in 1971 and the horse power out put fell to 365. Then in the last year, 1976, the "SAE net" horse power was 190 hp! A 8.2L 500 ci V8 was producing 190HP! That my friend 1976 is the heart of the smog/low compression era!
God dam my computer is being stupid.

The low side of emissions lasted from 1975 + or - too 1995 + or - before that 20 year range auto makers did not have to content with emissions and after that they figured out how to meet emissions and still make power! We are living in the golden years right now. Mustang, Corvettes and Chargers are making more horse power than they ever have and they are doing it reliably and still getting 20+ MPG. You don't see cars on the side of the road with a snapped crank any more (happened to me passing a semi in my friends Ford Fairlane) Nothing sings like a old carb V8 but its hard to say no to a 700 hp daily driver.
