Hi Junior!
The easiest way to tell is by the VIN #. Have your wife read it off to you. The 1964 Mustangs came with 3 engine codes.
U = 170 cid inline 6
F = 260 cid V8
D= 289 cid V8
The engine code is the fifth character in the VIN. An example of a 260 V8 VIN would be:
4T07F100001
I hope this helps you out!
