Identification Numbers Are Confusing!!

[Seven cylinders]

Hello All!! I am new to ford barn forum but have a few questions regarding my Ford Flathead V8.
I have pulled my motor and was told it may be a 38 but the seller was not sure. I have been looking through many sites and I am still confused because my numbers don't seem to match anything out there. Here is my information for you.
The numbers on the top of the bell housing at the rear of the motor are C10144
followed by X1 the heads are 24 studs with nuts. The heads are top center water flow inlet and have 9T in raised letters on them. The water pumps are mounted on the front of the block left and right. The distributor is mounted on the front of the motor under the generator/fan. The manifold is three bolt. I haven't pulled the heads yet, so i don't have the bore and stroke. I hope you can help me with the year using this information. I don't want to by parts without the proper information about the motor. I am assuming this is a canadian made motor.

Thank you for an help!! Seven Cylinders
