Yes, this is the rarest engine during the 61 - 66 era. I also seen a few original 262's in pickups with argent silver valve covers with black block. Argent silver valve covers were also used on the 330 361 391 engines that were introduced in '64. In 65 these valve covers went to gold, then complete engine went to blue in 66.

Right, It is not a 262 untill we see the timing gears. Untill then, it looks a 223 in the photo.

Hardest part to find when I was working on my 262 was the fuel pump, 64 223 pump wont even come close to working. Ended up buying a NOS pump off of EvilBay. Napa also did not have a thermostat gasket either but no biggie, I just bought some gasket material and made one. I have had no problems with finding tune up items and carb rebuild kit.

If your stroke measures 4.03" that would be pretty stong evidence to suggest it may be a 262.

Just so you are clear, if it is an F100 it should have a 9 inch rear end unless it was ordered with a limited slip rear end. F100's starting in 57 came with a 9 inch. The only exception was the limited slip trucks that had Dana rear ends. Hawkrod

I believe there should be an extra reinforcing rib cast into the side of the block. I'm not seeing one. The exhaust manifold with heat riser suggests 223, but that could be because it's a 223 head, so no help there. The fuel pump should also be on the timing cover, if I'm not mistaken. I think that's a 223 block. I'd suggest rechecking that stroke measurement.

If the stroke really is 4.03", then one possible explanation is that it's a 262 crank in a 223 block.

Oh, and please don't read anything into the markings that were clearly hand-drawn in paint pen. If that worked I'd mark my 223 as "427 SOHC" and retire early...

Okay guys Its a 262 stroke is what a 262 is. and the markings are from the mechanic at first he thought it was a 223 then he noticed half parts he orderd didnt fit and the last owner and him spent days trying 2 figure out what motor was in it. And they found out it was a 262 with a 223 head

I am not very knowledgable on the 262 but I do know that a C3AE-6015-AC is a 63/64 223 block and not a 262 block. I am not sure if you can put a 262 crank in a 223 block or not but it isn't a 262 block for sure because those blocks are either C1TE-6015-B or C4TE-6015-C. Hawkrod
