Hi All, To rebuild my 1661 F110 223 engine I need a new block. One is available but is described this way:"original Block out of a 59 Ford Fairlane with a 223 6cyl Parts book shows it will fit: 1959-1960 Edsel with a 223, 1954 through 1960 Ford cars and Pickups with a 223"Will this work...

Bill, Many thanks for this important info! I promise to use "flare side" from now on.

Thanks for the advice. I live in Michigan...any advice on where I might start a search for a 223 block? I do appreciate your responses!

Hi All, I'm new to the forum and looking for some advice. We are rebuilding my wife's 1961 F100 step side. The old 223 has a crack in first cylinder and though I'd replace with a 6 cylinder crate engine. I could use all the advice I can get. Been driving Fords all my life!
