1963 Ford C700. What size engine?
I know it is in the Y-Block family because of the two bolts on the end of the valve covers. But I'm not sure what size it is for sure. The VIN # is C70NU342242. I need to know what size it is asap. I'm tearing down the engine and replacing the head gaskets. The owner of the truck thought it was a 330 V8 but I didn't think the 330 V8 was used until 1964. Let me know asap please! Thanks!

C70 = C700 Tilt Cab
N = 302 / This engine (and the larger 332) were derived from the 1955 Lincoln Y block.
This is not the same engine family as 239/256/272/292/312 Y blocks. The engine parts do not interchange!
U = Louisville KY Assembly Plant
342242 = 1963, assembled in October 1962.
The last year for these Lincoln based Y blocks was 1963. FT engines (330 2V M/D; 330 2V H/D; 361 2V & 391 4V) were introduced in 1964.

Since the last year for these engines was 1963, you may have trouble finding head gaskets.

Yeah I ordered them from Green. It was $39 plus shipping for the valve grinding set and for 2 oil tubes that lube the rocker shafts. I was AMAZED at how cheap it was. I was expecting close to $100 for everything since its a rare year/engine combo. Thanks again everyone! Now the next thing I should ask, is what is the head bolt tightening sequence and any other specs I need for reassembly?

so the small block 302 is not the same as ybloock 302 ?

FT engines were not available until 1964. The Lincoln based 302/332 Y blocks were canceled after the 1963 model run ended.
The Y block 302 is an entirely different engine than the "small block" 302, which was introduced in 1968.
Please start a new thread for your hydraulic clutch question, and be specific as to the year, series, what parts you need for it.
