Shawn, I received your photos and I can see the engine you have is a ford 300 L6 and is not a 262. Thank you for responding and the time to send me photos . John

Of course, you want to find a much rougher candidate. Zero in on every '64.http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-Ford-F-100-/151776304092?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D151776304092%26_rdc%3D1&nma=true&si=DQbz9XDGXs16gRpHtSgKfncqgwA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Looks like a fair price for a longbed '64 F 100, seems like when ever someone asks what a clean ones is worth around here, its always around 3500.

223/262 I-6: Intake/Exhaust manifolds located on the left (drivers) side.

240/300 I-6 introduced in 1965: Intake/Exhaust manifolds located on the right (passenger) side.

Hmm, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ht-my-eye.html. Wonder what is setting in the engine compartment; although, after setting for extended period of time, who knows what condition the engine's in? May be worth checking out; if correct, and benbuilder decides to purchase, perhaps he would be willing to make an offer can't refuse?

223 I-6 as original, as this is an F350. No F350 was available with the 262 I-6.

See 262 I-6 applications in post 10.

oh that sux,, yeah I thought there was always a possibility that it might be a 223. Some don't really have a clue to what they have or were told wrong by previous owners. Also, ebay sellers are bad about that as I have half a dozen wrong parts sitting on my shelf.
