65 f600 vin question.

I am working on my familys 1965 f600 dump truck.There is some confusion as to the engine.It is a FE.the vin begins F60AL so i guess L is the engine code.Is it a 352 2bl code? I think that is what is in it.
Thanks in advance.

FE engines were not installed in any F Series truck larger than an F350.

F60 = F600 2WD

A = 330 2V Medium Duty FT engine

L = Michigan Truck Assembly Plant
---------------------------------
The letter A was the VIN engine code for the 330 2V M/D FT engine in 1964/65 only.

The letter C was used for the 330 2V M/D engine: 1966/72.

1966/74: A = 240 1V I-6.
-------------------------
FT engines look similar to FE engines, why ppl confuse one with the other.

Never mind.I researched it a little bit.It is most definetily a ft.It has the exhaust crossover rams horn manifolds,crossover intake,full sump oil pan...etc.

Thanks for the heads up.I cant believe I missed the differences from my 428 cj and s code 390 from my cyclone gt.Ya know you learn something new everyday,I learned my thing early today.
