Hi i just got hold of an engine for a project im doing. the engine in my truck at the moment is a big 250in six but is suffering from age. i was planning on building up the just purchased motor then swapping them over.
did find a site with a breakdown of some numbers but if i read it right i have a 81 bronco engine going by E1BE. that was all i could find so not sure what the other numbers mean
engine details i can find are
on the side of the block
12
E1BE
6016-FA
on the rocker cover there is a decal reading
MB 202 AA
453?890
on the inlet manifold
6090 BB
the ford 6 seems to be a minefield of different models, some good some not so good.can you get speed equipment for this engine easily? does holly or edelbrock do a peplacement carburattor as mine is shot.
past experience has been with chevy smallblocks
lastly is there a good book along the lines of how to rebuild your ford six that i can get hold of. if i can plan what i need i can get it delivered to a buddies house in florida then collect it all in febuary when i come out on vacation
thanks in advance
