FT Engine info
The VIN on my newly aquired 65 is F25JR652078, the way I understand this truck was born with a 6cyl,
but ... it has a V8. According to "How to Rebuild BB Ford" this engine is a FT 330HD/3.875 or 359,363/4.05 or 389,391/4.05. Markings on the block include the mirror image 105 (left front) and the DT3E on the right side which includes a pluged oil return line in the side of the block, this indicates the FT block ...
OK are you still with me?
My question is how do I determine which CI I have, the 330, 331 359, 361, 391? And the Year? BTW it has a 2 barrel. Kerry

You may not necessarily have an FT. I have two regular FE 360 blocks out in the garage with the mirror 105 and the D3TE casting number. Go look at the head casting number. It is between the center two spark plugs. That should determine it's FT-ness.
To see what displacement it is, you need to either:
1. Measure the bore and look at the crankshaft casting number, or
2. Measure the bore and measure the stroke.
