Default Help, decoding an engine Number!

I picked up what I believe is a standard bore 350 (5.7 Litre) out of a 1985 Suburban. Here are numbers that I've taken from it, to try and make a possitive I.D. of it.

Block: V0908FMF
TFF503565

Heads: 462624

Intake: 1405755

Thanks for answers you can provide. :seeya :seeya :seeya

The heads, 462624 can be either intermediate or high performance heads.
My Chevy book shows them as being 1.94 or 2.02 intake and 1.50 or 1.60 exhaust. My guess is that since they are from a truck, you have the 1.94 valves.
