It could have come from a '73 Gran Sport, but not likely. The code XF 'regular' 455, equipped with dual exhaust, was one of the Gran Sport engine options. However only 979 were built. Most likely it...

Alex, were you able to find the engine production code letters on the block? There is some chance yours may be the low compression, regular gas, 2 bbl, code JS engine with 265 HP.
