Me myself and my truck

[mytmatt]

They're both FE motors, Nick. Most parts interchange. The big difference between 352s 360s, 390s and 428s are bore and stroke, although there are other differences. Other than measuring bore and stroke, I don't think there's any other way to positively ID your motor. As Charles said, chances of your truck having the original engine in it are slim, though it does happen.

F10= F100-2wd
Y= 352-2v-1967---360-2v-1968-1972
R= San Jose, Ca.
B=? This must be a 8 and the first letter of the serial #

ok i found it this is the original 352 that was special ordered when the truck was made. Does anyone here know how much a machine shop would charge to rebuild it? just because to be honest i have no idea what i am doing when it comes to the rebuilding process.

Welcome and good luck with the truck. A lot of good people on this site to give you tips and advise. John

Nick, I think the average rebuild with you taking the motor to them is about $1000-$1500. It all depends on how bad/good it is and what you want in it. jmo

there should be a small vin plate bolted down with the coil to tell you motor size, and rebuild that engine yourself, you'll never learn if you never do, good luck to you

[Nickabocker]

where do you get a machine that does hold boring and stuff?

[mytmatt]

If you mean cylinder bores Nick, they are pretty expensive. Unless you are planning on going into the automotive machine business, boring the cylinders is something you should have done (same with turning the crank or boring your bearing journals). Cylinder bores (IIRC) have +/- .0005 tolerance, that is one half of one-thousandth of an inch. If your block just needs them honed though, that is another story.

The long and short of it is that automotive machine work is best left to the pros. Just my opinion-

thats respectible.....just a question when i do take this apart how much will the charge to bore(or hone) the cylinders and put new sleves on too?

[mytmatt]

Cost is going to vary depending on several factors...not least of which is how reputable the shop you are dealing with is. IMO it is best to pay a little more at this stage to deal with people you are confident know what they are doing, and will do a good job. If there is a local shop that you can get good reports from their existing customers, I would use them. If the machine work is not done right it is tough for anything else to go right.

i think it would be better to post a thread about your engine problems in the engine fourm, you would get more replys, i'd think, as i've been a part of fordification and i hardly ever go into the welcome mat.

i think, that maybe your engine problems could be the accelerator pump on your carb.
