I think the 65 has Inline 6 cylinder 300CI. I am not sure about the 64 but is is a smaller inline 6 cylinder maybe 240CI?

F600 with a 6 for 64 typically will be a 262 cubic inch big brother to the 223.

Welcome to FTE

The engine code is the 4th digit of the VIN.

As original

1964: B = 262 1V / J = 223 1V / Intake/exhaust manifolds on the drivers side.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1965: B = 300 1V / J = 240 1V / Intake/exhaust manifolds on the passenger side.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are they a 1964 & a 1965?

The last 6 digits of the VIN is the serial number.

1964 serial number range: 445,001 thru 580,000

1965 serial number range: 580,001 thru 732,000

The F600's VIN begins with F60.

I prefer Photobucket. Just upload your photos to PB, then insert the link inot your posts here (or wherever). You get large, crisp photo's imbedded in your post. Cheers!

Photobucket is really easy and free. Then all you have to do is post a link.
