Hold on! That is not correct. Front pass. side cylinder is number 1, then next PS cylinder two, then three/four. On driverside, front cylinder is number 5, then next back, 6, 7, 8.

46yblock is right, and if you have a stock intake manifold it should be cast above the cylinders... besides 1959_f100's y-block has nine cylinders!!

Wish I had a V9! Look at the intake runners as stated above it will have the cylinder numbers on each.

Hey--Guys, I have a few yblocks and now have a 1964 F 100 223 in a 1953 f100 and think my order is incorrect.
Can anyone give me a breakdown from front-back? thanks Bill

I'm not sure but it might be 1-5-3-6-2-4 I always remembered it as 15 too young 36 too old 24 just right. But now days 36 seems just right!
