Engine I.D. Dilemma

[Kevin J De Vries <special.k1@domain.elided>]

Help...

     My friend recently acquired an V-8 engine from a big I.H. truck(his
words not mine).  He doesn't know if it's a 345(A) or a 392 and I haven't
had time to drive over to where he lives(about 1 hour away) and look at
this mystery engine myself.  The serial number on the head is  216 368/R1
and the # on the block is  217 144/R2  I can't match up the head or the
block numbers completely in my Scout II parts book.  The big problem is
that I gave him a intake manifold off a '77 345 and he claims it doesn't
match up, it's too big for the block...  I thought all 345's had
interchangeable intake manifolds???  Am I wrong or what?  I would really
appreciate it if some of you I.H. Guru's out there would check your I.H.
parts manuals and help me find out what we have here.  Thanks in advance.
