64 F-500 engine
Hello Guy's,
I'm new to these years F-500, and I've seen one interesting.
whit which engines did they come?, and is there a preferred engine for this series?
The ad says it has a 200CUI 6inline.
are there any other points to look for when I want buying one?
Thanks in advance,

1964 F500 could have a 223 or 262 I-6; 292 2V; 330 2V Medium Duty FT engine; 330 2V Heavy Duty FT engine. 361 2V & 391 4V also available but rarely installed in an F500.
The 4th digit of the VIN is the engine code, post what it is.

Ok, I'll see if I can get that pic.
@Nd, I already thought that was a small motor for a 500.
but please enlighten me, what does the 2V and 4V in the other type of engines mean?
And another question, would there be anybody so kind to me to explain me how they moved all that weight in the days, only with such (relatively) small engines?
I also have a US pick-up, with a 318 V8, and that one has already "difficulty" with a 2.5 metric tonnes trailer behind!?

Not Bill, he may be gone for the day, but I'll throw up the answers.
The V designation is the number of carburetor venturi, otherwise referred to as barrels of the carb. One barrel, two barrel or four barrel, 2V or 4V.
They used a lot of gearing ratio to move the weight. It did not move fast but the lower power got the job done with gearing.
Who was it, Archimedes, who said, "Give me a lever long enough and I will move the earth." It is all about mechanical advantage, gearing.

Thanks Ray,
So If I'm correct, the heavy haulers of the day (say F-400 and up?) are not the fastest, (as you might know, I'm new to this era of trucks) but can they keep up with modern day traffic?
And I also heard that there is such a thing as a Two speed rear axle, can somebody tell me please how that is used?

Pic: Here's an example of a 200 I-6. Notice that the intake manifold is made as part of the cylinder head.

It has the early style valve cover(54-59), so it probably has been swapped in at some point.

The final drive ratio is possibly in the 5:1 to 7:1 range. Depending on tire size, the engine will spin quite high. Find the rear end ratio, figure circumference of the drive axle tires, locate one of many engine speed calculators on line and you can get an idea what your engine will spin at various road speeds.
Most two speed rear ends are high ratio and higher.
