Ford did not offer solid lifters in truck blocks.

By Dave Shoe - 11/15/2002 9:44:01 AM; IP 216.243.176.34

I suspect the lifter passages have been drilled for hydraulic lifters. If, however, the passage crossovers are blocked with the Ford-type plug (i.e.: a factory installed solid cam), it's posible the blocks were commissioned for an industrial application of some sort. There is a teeny chance the displacement could extend outside the 360 thru 391 limits I previously mentioned if this is so.

Hey, that reminds me, I once again dissed the good old 330FT block. If the block turns out to fit a 15/64" feeler gauge betwen the cylinders, it could be a 360/390 FE block, or a 330FT block.

Just my observations. Keep in mind I err with frequency.

Shoe.
