6 cylinder !D

How do you ID the Cubic inch on a ford cylinder ? I don't think mine is the original motor. Looking at the engine mounts they been modified to fit the six that in there now.

That's a 240 or 300.

You should be able to measure the stroke through a plug hole. 3.98" for the 300, 3.18" for the 240.

Bore is 4" for both.

The earlier sixes had the intake and exhaust on the driver side.

X2, definitely a 240 or three hundred. If you follow this thread, you can find out the year of manufacture! Casting Numbers? - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
You can see the aftermarket mounting bracket that had to be installed to fit it in there.
