wanted a 1961 through 1964 ford truck 262 CU. IN. engine .. rebuild able core will work but would prefer a running unit..

 

Imagine already checked w/ local shops for remanufactured created replacement? I purchased a created 'long block' engine from outfit in the State of Washington approx. 8 years ago that came with a 7 year warranty, company still in business and engine running strong. Since I installed the engine had it delivered to the house rather than shop which came to approx. $2200, included core and cost of shipping. If end up going this route, I would not purchase a rebuilt with less than 2-4 year warranty, and review any warranty disclaimers.

 

Yeah, I been looking everywhere I can think of... so far no go.. Thanks for your reply...John

 

Still looking HELP

 

Although purchased a long block V8 from them 8 years ago and pleased with transaction only posting as an example. Not clear if the 262 is available since item descriptions notes interested party inquire? Aint cheap, appears delivered can run around $2500, perhaps shop around for quotes on cost to have existing engine rebuilt and compare cost and length of warranty?? Had 2-3 engines rebuilt and none came under $2000? Surprised members have not offered suggestions, there should be similar rebuild shops in close proximity?

1962 - 1964 Ford L6, 4.3 L, 262 CID Rebuilt Engine

 

I seen one on the slick 60's trading post page about a week ago

 

I'd be extremely surprised if any engine rebuilder had one of these built and ready to go. Most people never knew Ford even made them.

 

tell me about it I have been looking for a while now. But I know there is one out there some where... Thanks Guys for your reply's

 

You may have to purchase a banged up rusty parts truck just for the engine. Look at every '61-'64 6 cyl. truck for sale, there may be a 262 under the hood without the seller even knowing about it. A standard option on '61-'64 2 ton trucks, a standard option on '64 F 100 F 250 2WD's, was a special order engine on any other '61-'64 model.

 

4th digit of the VIN is the engine code. B = 1961/64 262 1V I-6.

Applications: 1961/64 C550/600 / 1961/64 B600 (School Bus) / 1961/64 F600 / 1963/64 F100/250 2WD / 1964 N500/600.

1961/62: Warranty Plate riveted to the inside of the glove box door.

1963/64: Warranty Plate riveted to the left door face below the latch.

 

Thank you Bill. You wouldn't happen to know where I could get one of those 262 engines.. Or even a block... Thanks, John

 

Sorry, I don't.

I am located in Wilshire, Ohio, zip code 45898.


I have a 1963 F100 Unibody with a running 262, 3 on the tree.


LWB, flat back window, rusty cab floors.


I will sell just the motor, or the whole truck.


Post me back if you are still looking.
