Look at the intake manifold. If it extends out under the valve cover and the valve cover bolts to the intake, it is an FE series engine, 352, 390, 428 etc. If it has oval intake and exhaust ports, it could be a 429 or 460. The B9 casting number would generally mean 1959, and that would probably make it a 352. Post some pictures of it and maybe I can give you some more info.
