Im back with a 65 F100 engine question, Hola!!
Hello my amigos.
Im back after a wile.
I recently purchased this 1965 Ford F100 and I have an engine question please.
The Engine is a 352 V8 with 4brl intake and Im planing in rebuiltding this engine .
I tock it apart and the Block number is 352, the Crank check out for a 352, I read the number in the Crank,its the T2.
The intake and heads is what im interested on to make sure this is an autentic 4 brrl Engine.
HEAD numbers: C8AE-H
INTAKE NUMBERS: 3K17, C4SE 9425A
Hopefully some one can help me with the identification of what is it that I have here, I want to make sure I have a original 4brrl engine and not something that some one just swaped the 4 brrl intake on it.
the Truck Vin # : F10YR746780
the transmission is 3 on the tree. Short bed, simple truck.
Thanks, and it's great been back to the forum.

I believe all 352's had 2v intakes (Venturi not barrel). Your heads are date coded 1968 and your intake is 1964. This is because C= decade of the sixties and the number right after is the exact year 8=1968 and 4=1964. Just for giggles I had a 1966 Mercury 20 years ago with serial number 746514

Here's a bit more information for you. Your VIN decodes as F10 = F100 truck, 2 wheel drive. Y = 352 cubic inch FE V8 2 bbl engine. R = assembled at San Jose, Cal. 746780 = assembled in September, 1965 as a 1966 model year truck. As RangerMercMan stated, there were NO 352 4bbl truck engines built by the factory. Your intake manifold C4SE was originally cast for a '64 Thunderbird and 3K17 was its birthday was October 17, 1963. Also, the 352 cast into the block doesn't necessarily mean the engine is, in fact, a 352 as many (not necessarily all) FE V8s carried the same casting including 360, 390, 406, 410, 427, and 428 engines. Hope this information is of some use to you. If I have made any errors I am sure Number Dummy will sort it out. Good luck!

Thanks very much so far everything is what I was thinking.
Now I just want to know a little more about the heads, is there a way to tell from 2 Brrl, to 4 brrl difference like on the small blocks 302 and 289 heads?
I have this entire engine all taken apart and cleaned, the only bad part that I found was a Lifter the lock clip came of and the lifter came apart causing some clicking in the engine, but everything was nice and tight, even the pushrod was still in place.
I forgot to mention, This is not the engine in the Truck, Im sorry, this engine was purchased on craigslist to replace the stock engine (stock looks like a 352 with a 2 barrel carb), the engine in this truck I was trying to get it started but found solid dirt clogging the fuel line, and Carb, truck wasnt running for years, I removed the fuel pump and noticed the timming chain with lots of slak, (pushing it with a screw driver from the fuel pump oppening in the block), I may just get a new timming chain gear set , fuel pump, and what ever it takes to get the stock engine running before I spend any extra money in this Other Engine that I purchased with the bad lifter.
Thanks so much.

352 cast on the block is meaningless, as it's a foundry mark, all FE engines were cast as 352's. So, the engine could be a 352, 390, or?
1958/64 FE engines were only installed in cars, have rounded valve covers without holes in them for oil caps/smog valve, have an engine oil fill tube on the right front side.
Since these engines were only installed in cars, they have a different bolt pattern on the block where the rubber insulator attach than 1965/76 FE engines.
