How many bolts hold the valve covers on? A 352 (FE) engine will have 5 bolts, a Y-block has two.

(Notice FORD used three different PN Series in this period).
This chart shows the block casting number of a 1960 Hi-po 352 would be EDC-B or EDC-C
Y-block engine casting number chart...

Here is a more accurate CYL BLOCK Casing Number ID Chart-

B9AE 6015-B would (could) be an early 360HP (See Referred FE FORUM post thread).
B9AE could be either FE or FYB depending on the Casting ID No. Suffix.
The CITE rods (292HD forged) may have been an attempt to strengthen the bottom end. Today's' remedy would be a 361 FT crank and rods (I would think).

This is an entry found on a 360HP Build Sheet-
In the space provided on the build sheet for special equipment/comments it says:

(I also found it interesting the 360HP came through with electric wipers and used only a single action fuel pump).
