240 woes
Traded for a 66 f100 & 68 econoline, neither running,been sitting a while, both 240.Got the van running, discovered a broken rocker arm stud. Got the truck running, smoking, oiling 2 plugs quick, and some sickening sounds from the bottom end. Back to the econoline, could i have broke the stud because of a stuck valve from sitting, and if so, what are the chances on these engines of damaging a piston? Also any problems with putting the earlier head on the 68 engine.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The first series was 1961/67, only E100's were available. Some had the Falcon name on them that confused some people into thinking they owned a Falcon.
