Have a FT motor sitting in a 78 F600 that has that casting # on the block. Truck originally had a 330, but this block is a 97 rebuild. I haven't done a stroke check yet. Motor runs great, but the truck it's in is toast, as is the clutch. Hate to take the motor apart to see what it is.

 

I have a D4TE-1 block. It definitely started out as a 360/390 or 361/391. 4.05"

 

poormaleparent457, mine too. My D4 block came from '76 2wd 1/2 ton truck ( F150 ) the guys were doing a burnout and caught the truck on fire. It doesn't have the '105' mark on it, but is cast really thick all over. It is still at 4.05 bore, but I'm hoping for bigger and better things from it whenever the financial situation allows. What tranny do you have behind there ? if you are dealing with an F600, you might get lucky and have a 5spd Clark. DF

 

Look for the 105 casting mark under the oil fliter pad. That's where it is on this one. Don't know what transmission is in there, don't really care, unless someone else wants it. I do know it's 5 speed w/ a PTO and has a 2 speed rearend. Thanks for the info, guess I'll do a stroke check to narrow down which motor it is and pop a couple freeze plugs to do a drill bit check.

 

Is the block ribbed? I will check my other block. It doesn't have a casting number at all. I thought I remembered seeing a small mirror 105 somewheres.

 

I've got a D4TE-1 block in my truck, it's a 4.05 bore.

Can't make out the splotches under the filter pad, sorry.

 

Naw, this one's not ribbed. I've also got two 68 390 blocks that have no casting #'s either, both were cast within a week of each other. One's out of a 68 Galaxie, the other's the original motor sitting in my 68 Merc.

 

I had a d4te block that was a 360. I'm not sure what you are trying to find out though.

 

Just trying to see if it's a 330 block or a 360-390 bore block. The interchange book list's a D4TE-AC block that's a 4.05 bore block, (but the book's known to be wrong too) but it doesn't list the D4TE-1.

 

Ok, here's an update on the D4TE-1 block that I pulled from a 78 F600. Just goes to show that you can't go by the casting #'s for bore size. This one's a 330. measured the bore with a tape measure, 3 7/8ths. Any one interested in the 11qt. pan? The heads and intake as well as most of the FT acessory parts are on the way to the mini mill to be made into new cars. I can stick a 5/16ths bolt between the bores thru the freeze plugs, a 3/8th's won't go. Not sure if it can even be bored to 4.05, according to my estimations, this would leave the walls .118 thick, without core shift. Gonna sell the 427 type filter adapter on ebay, the oilpan will also go there, unless someone here wants first crack at it. Gonna look at the steel crank and see what rods are there before deciding their fate.

 

Baddad, whatcha gonna do with that 5spd, bell, clutch and flywheel and starter and PTO ? Are there any numbers on the tranny ? DF

 

While you're checking out the crank, could you check and see if the flywheel has an offset weight cast in?

 

I'm open to suggestions. Better hurry though or the bell,and flywheel will be history. The clutch and pressure plate were toast. Tried to find transmission #'s yesterday but couldn't locate them. If you know where they're located on it, that would help.

 

Bad, please don't throw anything out ! I know a guy who wants all of it. Even if some of it appears to be 'toast'. A new clutch and press plate might be needed, but it sure helps to have the old pieces to compare the new to, to make sure you got the right stuff. Some times you need the old pieces for a core . Look for numbers on a plate bolted ( riveted ? ) on the side of the tranny. I'll check mine and see where the plate should be. DF

 

As for the clutch disc, there wasn't anything left to rebuild. The pressure plate might do as a core. There wasn't any lining left on the disc, and there was about 1/4 of it separated from the other 3/4 of it. I'll call the guy who hauled the P/P and flywheel off friday and get those pieces back.
