help on identifying engine

I am having trouble identifying my engine. These numbers are just obove the timing chain on the block and I cant find any corresponding numbers through various databases I have searched. Anyone have a clue on the year and motor type 330 or 3350. The engine is in a 1965 F85 The #'s if you cant make them out are 4790GM5 OLG. Totally confused I appreciate the help. Thanks
