Unless I am mistaken.... I think they started using the 5 main engine in
sept of 1964 (1965 model year).   The quickest way to tell them apart is
that the 3 main engine has a drive for a mechanical tach at the left rear
part of the block, and the 5 main engines all used electric tachs thus
didn't have the tach drive.

Cheers,
