All what literature did you read that horse manure in? It certainly wasn't a Ford parts catalog or shop manual.
223 or 262?

My 62 F100 Uni has a 262 in it. It is a "B" code in the VIN.

I went by what the '57/63 & '64/72 Ford truck parts catalogs list.
Someone pointed out that the 262 was first offered in F100's in 1964, as that is what he claimed a sales brochure said.
Since the parts catalogs lists motor mounts for 1963/64 F100/250 262 2WD/4WD's, I knew that was hogwash.
The only mounts listed for 1961/62 262's are for F350 and larger trucks, but this could be an error. B = 1961/64 262.

So we have determined that my truck does have the optional 262, but here's the rub. Try telling that to ANY parts house, when trying to by parts. They will argue till they're blue in the face. "That truck had to have had the engine replaced" is the most common statement. Had that problem the other night, trying to get a fuel pump for the truck. I finally just had to tell him to order the one for the 223. What I find amusing is that Ford offered the 262 as an option, but it only offered half a dozen more horsepower over the 223, I'm assuming due to the compression ratio of each engine.

The 262 was not a terribly common engine even when it was offered. Parts can be a bit tricky to find but they are still available. I have seen about 30 292s, 20 223s, and exactly 1 262.
That was in a 63 F250 that was still being used as a trash hauler by a construction company. I went looking for it last week and it is now gone. I havent seen it in about a year so I am assuming it finaly gave up the ghost.
The ford parts catalog will help you alot as you can use the OEM # to aid in your search.
What part are you looking for?

Don't need anything at the moment, but when I went to my local go-to parts house guy locally, even he wanted to argue about the truck having a 262, and he is EXTREMELY knowledgeable on most older vehicles. None of the catalogs any of them have show that motor available for that truck. Thankfully, the fuel pump I got from A-Z, (not my normal parts house) for the 223 worked, althought it didn't have the under pump fuel filter on it.

Ford was pretty finicky on the installation of the new for '61 262.It was a regular option on Medium Duty trucks from '61 thru '64. The 262 first became a regular option on certain pickups during '64 model year. It was restricted to '64 2WD F100 and 2WD F250's only.

Both of my 262 engines have that casting number ( C4TE-6015-C ) in the block. They also came from 1964 F100 trucks.
The light-duty version of the 262 looks so much like a 223 that it can be hard to tell the difference. There was once an aluminum tag stamped with "262" attached to one of the ignition coil mounting bolts, but that seldom survives after 45 years. The best identifying mark is an extra horizontal stiffening rib cast into the driver's side of the block, just above the oil dipstick. A 223 only has one rib below the dipstick.
