Hello Mike
Check the head casting, if it's a 1965 it'd be "A", 66 a "B", 67 a "C" That would be a letter that's maybe an inch tall located next to the #1 and #8 sparkplug holes. Check the FAQ list at the home page of this site for more details. Also, if it's a Toronado the center of the intake will be sunken and the oil pan will have a provision for the front drive axle, then a little lower in the front and the lowest part of the back will have one side lower. Should have a forged steel crank, and if a 4 bbl carb a higher compression and hp output. John
