Which "straight six" will fit?
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-Jan-03 AT 11:24 PM (EST)]Two questions: First- I own two trucks, 1958 f-100 and a 1968 F-100. Both have engines that are blown. I want to put a inline six in each one. What year Ford inline six engines will fit in each truck. By fit, I mean, no modifications needed (mounts, bell housing, Tranny, etc.)? In other words, if I find a 1959 223 will that engine go in the 1968 with no problems?
Second question: where might I find a rebuildable six? We are plumb out of wrecking yards in our area that have anything left worth taking. Thank you.

The 60-64 223 is a better engine. They went to 1/2" head bolts, improved head design. Its a bolt in to the 58.
Consider the 300 in the other, any effort will be worth it in the long run.
