my buddy recently purchased a f100 for 300 hundred bucks, old wisconsin farm truck, but he wanted an original truck which this one is not, it has a motor and tranny swap, accorfin to the vin it is supost to be a 300 ci with a 3 on the tree, but it has a small block v8 with a 4 on the floor. There is not visable markings on the motor, we looked and come to the conclusion its a built motor, it got aluminum intake manifold with a 2 barel holley carb, after a looking a loong time we came to the conclusion that it is ofset, the left side head sits about 2 inches further forward than the right bank, it looks like a baby v8 like a 289 or 302, maybe even a 351 or 360 we have no idea, were completly clueless and cant figure it out, please help

According to the VIN it is supposed to be a 300 ci with a 3 on the tree.

No VIN of any Ford vehicle has the trans info within it

The 4th digit of the VIN is the engine code. 1966: A = 240 I-6 / B = 300 I-6 / Y = 352 2V.

The TRANS code is stamped on the Warranty Plate, located on the left door face below the latch.

A = New Process 435 4 speed M/T / B = Warner T-85N 3 speed O/D '3 on the tree' / C = Ford type 3.03 3 speed M/T '3 on the tree' / F = Warner T-18 4 speed M/T / G = A/T, three different types depending on engine size.

Valve cover bolts per side: 352/360/390 and etc = FIVE / 221/260/289/302/351W = SIX / 429/460 = SEVEN / 351C/351M/400 = EIGHT.
