I had just recently bought a 1963 F250 2wheelD and wanted to know if there is any way to easily tell if its the 4.8 or 5.4. Lastly is there anything I should look out for i.e. common problems I could encounter while restoring it. Any information would be appreciated and if anyone has any parts for sale let me know
Thanks. Its definetly a V8, went to the parts store and they asked if its the 292 or 332ci since i dont have much experience with anything older then 78 I wasnt sure.
332 Lincoln big truck engine. Note the oil filler goes into the block. The 292 filler goes into the intake gallery.
The engine was standard equipment on the Ford F-800, F-900, T-750, T-800, C-800, and C-900 Series heavy duty trucks.[7]
From WIKI....
The V8 should be a 292 Y block in a 250. The Lincoln based 332 was a big truck engine.
This is skidrulz 1964 292. 1963 should be similar.
292, 2-bbl carb, in '61 F-350. Although you never know if your truck's engine has been swapped out over the years, one starting point is to post a good photo of your truck's warranty plate (lots of people call it the VIN plate) on this forum and ask if someone such as Number Dummy can de-code it for you. It will, at minimum, tell you what was in the truck when it left the factory.
