223 I6 Manual
Don't know if it's what you are looking for, but my shop manual has quite a bit of info on engine disassembly, repair, and reassembly. I might be assuming too much, but I'm planning on using it as the main source of info when I do my 272 Y-block.

223 I6 Manual
The Edsel and Motors manuals I have that cove the 223 I6, assume an expert mechanic is reading. They make major leaps from step to step and have few photos, pictures or diagrams.
I am trying to rebuild the 223 I6 in my Edsel, but it is the same engine found in 1959 Ford Trucks. I agree with your signature statement, When does the fun start? Rebuilding this engine (and the car) were supposed to be a peaceful hobby! So far I am still waiting for the fun.
Exactly what manual do you have?
Thanks for the reply.

Yep, the truck shop manuals do skip around alot too. You might want to try searching for a inline 6 book or specialty manual on ebay for engines. Goodluck with your edsel!! -4speed P.S Amazon.com too

Thanks.
But my question is still unanswered. I would rather not purchase several manuals before finding the right one. Can someone suggest the best manual for rebuilding the 1959 223 I6 engine?
