Is this a 300 engine?

Hi

Looking at buying a 1970 Australian F-700. The guy claims it has a 300 six cylinder inline engine and 5 speed box in it.

There are no numbers on the exhaust but the Inlet cast number is 05AE9425J

And the engine number is AVTR13**

What do you think I have?

Ford put 300's in the F-550's, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's a 300.

Did Ford even put another gasoline I6 in the F-550 - F-700's?

I don't think they did here (the F700s) those had either 330 or 361 V8s as base engines. The 300 was available in F500s and 600s if memory serves me correct.

This is australia people!

Is it a gas engine or a diesel? Can you get pics? what side is the intake and exhaust on.

I think foregin countries rated their stuff differently. I think an F350 here was a F550 in brazil or somthing to that effect.

This is the 2nd thread the OP has typed on this subject in the last coupla days.

As I typed in the other thread, the F700 was not available with a 300 I-6 in the US/Canada. The only I-6 these F700's had was the Dagenham/Dorset 363 cid diesel.

Vehicles sold elsewhere (i.e. Australia/New Zealand/South Africa) have features not found US/Canada vehicles.

The ID engineering number from the intake manifold is actually C5AE9425J

Ford part number: C5AZ9424E = 1965/74 240 & 1965/76 300 I-6's.

btw: During this time frame, there was no such thing as an F550.

Sorry, forgot -
Wanted to welcome you to the site. Enjoy the visit. Hope you had all your shots. And plez, share some of that good stuff from OZ-Land.

BTW: Plez no 'cross posts'. If U place the same Qs around and about it becomes somewhat confusing (for 'both partgies'). Again enjoy and drop any pic U have so we can see!

Thanks for the welcome. It definitely is a 300 6 cylinder petrol engine with a 5 speed box that come with it. The F-700 was a prime mover with a 2 speed diff before being dismantled so I guess the gearbox would be sturdy enough to handle a modified 300 engine.?

Here is the Ebay link where I bought it from. I bought the engine and 5 speed transmission for $200 Aus

Here is the Ebay link

Too bad we can't C: 1) the 'box' (trani) and 2) other side of the motor. That (#2) would help answ if the 300 was built for the bigger rigs (30,000lb haul cap o0OPPpss I forgot the exh. manifold IS on that side. Couldn't see it, if I looked...
Again a pic, when U get it home, if U have that capacoty, would help.
Still waitin 4 that fosters...

There is a chance that the engine and tranny were swapped at some point in the trucks life.

with a 2 speed diff

We call it '2 speed rear' (I believe what we would mean) and yes with THAT and the HD exhaust manif it would B similar to a F700 over here.
Like Monti1go said it could all B swapped out but they would be compatable driveline prts.

"Clark" on the transmission

Not familiar w/that, but they put all sorts of (your wrds) 'boxes' behind them...
Guys, any ideas, sound failure. Get the numbers, may B Parts Dummy can help.
