Help with 6cyl ID ?

Hello Guys I'm a new guy on the great board! Just bought my first truck project, and trying to dial in what I have...My truck is a 55 with a 6cyl. I was told its a 1965 240, thats why I'm posting here. Can anyone confirm this for me. The number on the left side of the block is EBP-6015-L..
Any help would be great..
Also do any automatic transmissions bolt up behind this in a 55??
Thanks!!!
Derick

The 1955 engine is a 223 cubic inch engine. The distributer is on the passenger side and the exhaust & intke manifold are on the drivers side. If it is a 1965 engine, it would be a 240 or a 300 cubic inch, the distributer would be on the drivers side and the manifolds on the passenger side of the engine.

The EBP usually indicates that's it's a 223 I-6.

Thank you guys...Its seems the man who sold the truck, just didn't know...And since I'm new to this stuff, I didn't either...So far, from what I found out here, to all the helpful folks online. My truck most likely has the original engine. a 223. And the trans is a 1951 3speed with o/d. I'm learning.
Thank you!

The 1A prefix on your trans case denotes 1951...but it was used on later models, too.

I should have mentioned that fact in my other post on another thread to you.

Your '53 F100 most likely has its original powertrain...a 223 engine and 3 speed with O/D transmission.
