1961 F500 Engine Options

Purchased a nice 1961 F-500 today at an auction. No Pictures yet. Wanted the cab to use on on 1964 F-100 project.

The truck has a V-8 which I believe is probably a 292. Question is...did this engine come with a 4BBL holley carb?

This one has a 4BBL Holley and it looks stock.

292s had either 2 or 4v carbs. The vin has an engine code that will tell what it was as oem.

C = 292 2V / D = 292 4V
