by Slick Steve Sun Jun 20, 2010 12:02 pmThe owner 66' Econoline I am looking at says it has a 300 in it. Is it possible it came with this engine originally? It is the heavy duty model, for what that is worth.
Thanks

Is there a way to tell the difference between the 240 and the 300?

Steve,
My small amount of research shows that the 300 is definitely not stock. But, if it is a 300, you are in good shape. The 240 apparently had some blow-by issues that were resolved with the 300. Both engines should look pretty much the same. Don't know anything about identification marks. If it is the 300, it means it was swapped in - which would be an improvement over the 240.
