How to identify year of 2.8 motor?
Hi all; Believe it or not, I just acquired a 1956 Ford F100 pickup that's been out of the system for better than 10 years. This thing has a 2.8 Mercedes engine in it with mechanical fuel injection... Also has a Mercedes automatic transmission... All nicely installed... Problem is, the original owner passed away, and there is -0- documentation on the engine or transmission or the install... It cranks fine but won't start... The fuel pump is either dead or stuck... And from what I've been able to determine, I need to identify what year the thing was made before I can go any further towards lighting it off... So the question is, how to I.D. the motor as to year of make, etc... It must have same cast onto the block or somesuch, but where? 'Sure would appreciate some help here as I'm dead in the water... Thanks a bunch! Ol' Bill
