Look for the casting number on the block.
It should be just above the oil filter. Just so you know what year / version the block is.

The block number will not you if it's a 312
but take off the lower bellhousing cover and carefully turn the engine, if the crank flange has a dot it's a 312.

Some sellers think they know but actually don't. Other sellers will tell you whatever you want to hear.
An unfortunate near truth in the world of Y-block engines... if it's for sale it's almost always a "312", until it isn't.
I looked at a '57 312 (D code) T-Bird for sale last year.
Asking price $45,000.... the engine was a 292 from a '56 truck, with a couple '57 parts on it.
