If it is a stock 65 econoline it would have a 200 or a 240 the 200 will have an integral intake manifold(part of the head can't remove) the 240 will have a removable intake. Welcome to FTE and please turn off your CAPS LOCK its like your yelling. Rich

240/300 I-6's: The intake manifold is removable.
Vehicles after 1948 are registered by the VIN number.
The VIN engine code is the 4th digit (thru 1980).
1965: J = 240 / S = 200 / T = 170
