the "301" was used in fords f600 and other 5 ton trucks. its basically the same as a 300 only its even tougher! they also made 331. these engines were just built tougher due to the extra weight, etc that they would have to pull. Finding one? very hard. im keeping my eyes open myself! hope this helps

Although I've never heard of the 301, the expanation above does make sense given Ford's habit of building heavy duty engines and designating them 1ci larger or smaller than their regular duty sibling of the same displacement.

I wonder if you can bore the 300 block that much or maybe it is a stroker? Either way, sounds like fun.
I think International once made a 400 cid inline six gasser!!!!!!!
