Is your 1967 Econoline a display van? I’ve got a 1967 Econoline Bell Telephone display van as well. Color was dark green. It’s from Atlanta where the phone company was known as Southern Bell. It has a 240 CID and a 9 inch rear end. Ugly as can be, but it still runs and drives.

Nice pre smog motor, I picked up a 100k 75 and am getting rid of everything smog related. Going with the high flow efi era exhaust and the original intake plugged. Putting a 2 barrel 2150 on it with the adapter. I'm told it ran great and it turns over fine and the spark plugs look great, just on the lean side. Should I pull the head for inspection while it's on the stand?
@Quint1836
@Quint1836 2 жыл бұрын
You sure can, it wouldn't hurt. However, a lean problem is not something to worry about. Most likely all in that old carburetor. But, if the motor is going to be out and on the stand, I think it's 12 nuts and she comes off. You could even send it to a machine shop and have them rebuild that head. She would run like a scalded dog after that. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to answer

My 300 has the 240 fuel pump and Ford did not have serial numbers on their block. The casting number is pretty much how you can tell when and where it was made as it is the same block used for all inline 6 motors ie 240 250 300 etc etc.I appreciate the video and love these inline 6s but it just didn’t work for me.

You can also look at the oil pan. 300's have the drain plug coming out the back. 240's out the side. You can also count the distributor teeth. But that requires pulling the distributor. Which isn't hard. Make sure it's at TDC first

About 84 the dipstick was moved from the oil pan to the rear of the engine. To put a 70's or early 80's engine in a mid 80's or newer ford you'd need a 80-83 oil pan and dipstick, plus the newer style pickup for the oil pump.
