55 Fargo Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 PM Tim Kingsbury. L series were on trucks after 1958. But this stamping is not super straight. So maybe a dealer replacement or a large rebuilder back in the day. If not seized pull plug over cyl#6 and insert stiff wire and hand crank engine to measure stroke. If 4 1/2 or 4 3/4 could be 250 or a 265.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francois Pelletier Posted April 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Thanks, I was on the phone with Tim Kingsbury earlier and he says it's definitely not a factory stamping. The car is not yet in my garage, we are waiting for a snow bank to melt ... As soon as it's at may place, I will do the stroke and block dating checks.
