Looking at the compliance plate info - as you supplied.(With the data kept here on AFF in the TECHNICAL RESOURCES AREA)
reveals car to be fitted with a 2V 250 motor (250 with a 2barrel carb), 4 speed manual gbox. The paint & trim codes don't match up though..... Should see if you can get the model number(should be a 18xxx) and reconfirm the paint & trim codes..... |

Ford made a 300ci 6 cylinder petrol in the late 60's / early 70's to power F 100's and trucks. This engine was interchangeable with V8's of that era. This engine would fit your description??

I would say it was more the 250cu 2V mtr with the 2bb stromberg carb that was fitted to the XY/XA falcons than the 240/300cu truck mtr.
