Bought a 1965 F250, Ford-O-Matic, 352 or 292 V8

Well I bought this fella (70,000 miles) last month and I was thinking the engine was a 352 V8 but now I wonder if it's not a 292. Can any of you tell by looking?
Also,,, I'm checking flow from fuel pump, anyone know how fast it should fill the bottle ?
Thanks,
Rob

292 truck engines have cross over front exhaust pipe.oil filler tube coming out of vally pan under intake,its not a 292,its a fe engine,look at any of the numbers on head/intake ect should start with a c means 60s next number is year so if it says c8de example its a 68,292s ended in 1964,

another easy way to tell if its a fe engine which it is,the valve cover covers up head and some of the intake,valve cover look 65 fe 352,block would be stamped 352 but 352/360/390/ect used this block casting,

Sure looks like a '65 352 with those gold valve covers. Don't apologize. Nothing wrong with being non-denominational, lol.
