How much would a 223 I6 be worth? I thought it was a 300ci but I really believe it is a earlier I6 and I may play with it a little. And Col I might contact you about performance parts later.

1960 f100 engine
I was given a 1960 f100 or f250, not sure which one it is. It has a straight 6 and 4speed on the floor. The engine needs at least a distributor and manifold/carb.
What are there any engines that will be a bolt in swap, I want to get it running as cheaply as possible and later down the road when I'm done fixing it up I might do a big v8 swap.

The engine would be, if stock, the venerable 223c.i. I-6 & performance parts are still obtainable for them.
Contact me about a Stock Intake & Carb. for your Olde Girl, if that's what you wish to acquire for her or I'm able to find the Performance parts as well.

I stated, "If Stock", as I recollect.
Now, is this the one that was found on that property, pulled out of the folage, had all those Pix & questions posted about it?
If so, then it's a 300c.i. I-6.
I can't keep track of Every individual that posts here, especially when they don't post Pix or state they've another additional thread/s on top of the one here.
Contact away, I'll see what I'm able to do for you.

Count the lug nuts. If each wheel has 8 it's an F250...5 is an F-100.

Watch the classifieds, Craigslist, etc... those engines were used in an awful lot of old Fords, and you might find one that someone's yanked recently to replace with a V8. Or, if there are any old wrecking yards left near you with stuff from that era, you should at least be able to turn up a manifold and distributor.
If you're friendly with a machinist, it is supposed to be possible to fit a newer distributor (like off a 300 six) to the 223. (I think there was a discussion on fordsix.com about this.)
AFAIK the only current aftermarket intakes are from Clifford and Offenhauser, but if you're patient on eBay, other old-school intakes show up occasionally. As far as headers, Patriot makes some that probably fit (can't be sure from the catalog), as well as Clifford.

I swapped in a Y-block with a 4bbl carb, lost 1 mpg, and gained a bunch of power. Not to mention Y-blocks have a sound all their own.
