God how I miss the sound of the 240-cid in my old 1967 Ford F-100

I dropped a 300 six into a 1974 LTD. Some fella tried to swap in a 350 smallblock and failed miserably, leaving behind these huge chunks of C channel sticking out from the frame where the engine perches were supposed to be on the 350. I never cut them out, and it turns out that I can sit on the fender and rest my feet on these old 350 mounts. It also makes a convenient grounding point. Sitting under the hood really beats standing in the rain any day.

What oil do you use for oil change? And how many quarts? Thanks in advance!

I used Shell Rotella oil and I think it was 15w-40. Some internet postings say if you use regular oil your engine will blow up and some said that if you used Rotella your engine would blow up. But since more said you would have issues with regular oil, I went with Rotella.

Just looked through my old Ford stuff this afternoon. I had more before I moved. I feel badly about getting rid of some like I did but I figured how many 302 blocks do I really need and how many big six blocks do I really need? I kept a F600 forged crank and the 240 head. I thought I traded the 240 rods for 300 rods years ago when I built a swap in engine for an 81 Ford. I used the 240 block and the 81 300 head. But I just measured the rods and they're 240 rods. I guess I could use the 300 block with the forged crank the 240 head.. find some 292 Chevy billet rods..or not.. I'd have to machine the crank a little but it's doable. I used to know the big six stuff better than V8 stuff. Now I've forgotten most of it. I prefer the inline for ease of service but I don't want a factory carbed 6. I've got an economaster 450 mechanical secondary carb. I bet that was for a 6 with an offenhauser. I don't think I'd want it for that.. everyone makes better 6 cams, or did. If you want to spend the big bucks you can even have a roller cam made. Mobil Delvac 1300 and Delo are both SN rated. Delvac has more ZDDP. Delo has more boron. Oil isn't a problem for flat cams. Seems like Mystik has a HD oil that's good too. Just thinking. I'd still rather have a 351 but if I get rid of the overdrive...I don't like the EFI 6. The head was 68cc like the 240 head but they're known to crack. The older stuff never did.

Nice truck. I maintain & drive a '65 F100 2WD. Had the 240 for 31 yrs. Made 169,000 miles. Was very strict on the 3,000 mile oil/filter changes. Never once went past the 3,000 mile limit on oil/filter changes. The last 9,000 +/- miles...was going thru too much oil. Had it removed. Replaced it with a 300. Everything fit up from the 240 to the 300. I put the EFI exh mnflds on the 240. What a difference. Not enough to go with another 240. Now the 300 benefits in the "breathing" dept too. I am so pleased with the 20 more h.p. I still use the 1V carb & oil bath air filter. I look forward to more yrs of trouble free driving (as long as I maintain it).

The 1965 is a nice truck. While I liked the 240, it felt underpowered many times. I imagine that the extra 20hp did make a big difference. Glad you are still enjoying your truck!

Lawrence. The door seals were from Denise Carpenter. The first set I purchased from another company kept the doors from closing correctly and I ended up throwing them away. But the Denice carpenter ones worked very well. I ended up selling it. It was my first restoration project. I really did enjoy it and at times wish I had kept it to enjoy it a bit more.

My 66 240 sounds exactly like yours. I have everything to swap it out for a 390 and I’ll probably get to it sometime the fall. I bought a 360 and found a 390 crank and a set of 390-428 rods. I bought a edelbrock 390 performer intake and a comp cams complete cam kit with everything. The engine came with the complete flywheel and clutch and bell housing and 3 speed transmission which is the same one behind the 240 and with the 9” heavy duty rear end with 3:89 gears should be able to pull anything.
