1960 F-600 292 Y Block
I have a 1959 F-250 4x4 that is missing it's 292 Y block and I am wanting to restore it back to its original condition. I have located a 1960 F-600 292 Y block 2bbl motor and wanting to know what the differences in this motor compared to the original 292 that would have been in the 1959 F-250 4x4. I do have the 4 speed transmission and bell housing for the 4x4. The other question I have is do the front fenders from a 1960 F-600 interchange with an 1960 F-100/250?
Thanks for your help |
The motor will be the same, some ofthe mounts maybe slightly different so possibly you`ll have to swap them over. Other wise you shuld be good to go.
The fenders I`m not sure on, someone that knows will hopefully chime in soon. |
I believe the wheel openings on the F600 are considerably larger
|
Wouldn't it be a 292HD motor? I think they had the forged steel cranks, which are good, but I think they were also low compression.
|
Sodium cooled valves too. (we had a '58 F600. Got a reman through Ford that was supposed to be a "Gold Crown" {I think} but turned out to be a regular engine, causing the old man to blow a gasket 30 years later when it was torn down again....)
Either way, it should work. |
Howdy,
The fenders will probably interchange but they will have much bigger cutouts. The engine should be the same. Some newer 292 truck engines had HD cranks in them I think. Most of those are few and far between. Most of those engines were pulled many years ago.. |
The fenders will work but will have a wider opening but should look great on a 4x4. Engine mounts I think are the same. It could have a steel crank which would be stronger. Don't know how much of a change in compression though.

I tried a set of the F-600 fenders on our F-100 and the openings are about 2" higher than the normal fenders. I think they looked really odd being that much different.

There are three different 1959/60 F Series front fenders.
1959/60 F100/350 with 15" - 16" - 17.5" wheels 1959/60 F250/600 with 19.5" - 20" - 22.5" wheels 1959/60 F700/1100 with 20" - 22.5" - 24.5" wheels ------------------------------------------------------- 272/292 Engines 1957/58 = 272 M/D / 272 H/D 1958/60 = 292 M/D / 292 H/D |
I swaped my f250 fenders for f600 ones and they are interchangable...and I think that they look better. I gives the truck a more sleek look and you can't really notice too mch of a height difference.
