I had read an old post from Bubba22348 I believe. He mentioned that the 1958 223 A code engine was one of the best.
I currently own a 1964 223.
It's a great engine. The only thing I kept was the rods, head and block.
He also mentioned that the 223 started being detuned after 1960.
I have an opportunity to purchase a 1958 223.
I was thinking about building this 1958 engine i have found to be as hot as it can be.
But it came out of a F 350 I believe.
How can I tell if it is an A code?
And what or should I say how was the 1960 and later engines detuned?
