Nope.

I'd venture to say that nobody does.

The 1968 442 came with a 400 engine, so if you've got a 455, there is a small chance that the engine can be identified, but since the only clear external identifier of exactly which 455 you've got was a plastic tag on the oil filler, and these have all fallen off years ago, and since there is a good chance that parts of the engine aren't original anyway, you've pretty much got to tear it down if you want to know what you've got.
