The 215/223/262 I6 engines were produced from 1952 through 1964 and shared many parts with Ford Y-blocks such as the entire valvetrain and the problems associated with the Y-blocks oiling system. These engines have the exhaust and intake on the driver's side and the distributor on the passenger side making them easy to differentiate from the 144/170 Special/200/250 & 240/300's I6's.

215c.i.
A completely new OHV six was offered for the 1952 F-series. It displaced 215 cu in and produced 101 hp. It was also used in the 1952 Ford full-size cars.

223c.i.
The 215 became the 223 cu in for the 1954 F-series. Output was now 115 hp & was known as the "Mileage Maker" & 120 hp in the 1955 Ford cars. Power was up to 137 hp in the 1956 trucks.

262c.i.
A 262 cu in version was also produced. The 262 was built from 1961-64 for use in Heavy Duty Ford Trucks. This engine was also used for industrial applications.

Search eBay and you'll find the correct offenhauser reproduction intake.

I also have two original intakes for the 215/223/262 engines. One is a Fenton and the other is a Nicson. Both are for sale. I also have close to a dozen of the Holley 1904 carburetors for sale.
