Default Ford inline six ID?


I have just bought a Hotrod with a Ford inline six engine.
I have however not been able to identify what type/year/size engine it
is, so maybe someone on this group could help me?

The engine is overhead valve, has intake manifold cast into the cylinder
head on the passenger side, and the exhaust manifold bolts to the head
on the passenger side.
Distributor, Fuel pump and Oil filter (twist-on) is located on the
drivers side.

Here is a picture of this engine:

Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

That's either a 144 CID or 177 CID Falcon engine. It dates from the early to mid
60's.

Having had mufflers go bad on cars that had them, I can guarantee you that one's
loud.

out plugs, and the 200 and 250 have 5 freeze out plugs.

I looked into putting a 200 into my '61 Econoline at one time. The exhaust system is
on the other side.

if the exhaust on the 200 was on the other side of what was in your van,
than you did not have a ford 6 cylinder in it. the 144,170,200,and 250 all
use the same head design. the diference is in the valve sive, carb opening
size, and exhaust size.it is not uncommon to put a 250 head on a 144 or 170
as a hop up to gain power.
a good reference book to have is the ford falcon six cylinder performance
handbook ,by dennis and david schjeldahl. it goes into detail on building a
killer six cylinder ford.
