What would be the engine # on a correct F135 ?

Not sure what your asking? Don't know if there is a certain number that identifies what a engine is. The f to 2F serial # show which one it is. That block would be no later than a F145. After that the oil fill went to the valve cover. The valve cover and thermostat housing are F135 not F145 if that helps.

So the correct motor for a 1962 FJ40 would not have an serial # stamped on it?
The motor shown has F203012 stamped on it. I believe it is out of a 69/70 FJ40.
But like you said the valve cover and oil fill neck threw me off.

Long ago TLCA# 2231
look at the manifold side of the block.... thats were the casting stamp is....that will give you the year
AFAIK the early engines had this stamp as well as later
It goes y/mm/dd ... So...
Something like 70312 would be 1977/march/12th

Why would you say 69/70???
F-290409 is dated to 08/69, and then one year later F-325624 is dated as 09/70...neither of these is close to your F203012.
I am going to say yours is probably a late '66 or '67 F 135, as the closest engine number I have listed in my junk, is '65 with a F196XXX.

If your looking for serial I get the one off my very early 68 with the F145. What does the intake/exhaust look like? The F135 head the intake will be round. On the exhaust the 2/3 and 4/5 ports are shared.

That is a F135 head. Carb looks to be 65 or earlier with the large sightglass. That is a later 69 type oil filter. It cold go back to the original style with no problems.

I haven't read your entire thread but the top shaft is out of phase, which is probably why the PO thinks it is shot. Notice the yokes are in phase on the lower shaft compared to top shaft.

So I've re read your post and went and took pictured of #s cast into the side of block under manifold.
I think the block in the truck starts with a 2 and the "new" block a 4...
Is this the same block as the picture you posted above??
If so, what is it exactly that you are looking for???

The block on the pallet has 41029 stamped under manifold (1964 Oct 29)
The block that came in the truck when I bought it is hard to read, but it looks like 20903
That might mean the block that came in the truck original to it? 1962 Sept 03.
So is this a correct F135 with wrong valve cover, manifold, carb etc?

Just curious as to how you came up with this info.
First picture below is of a vin plate, which clearly shows the engine number as being F 172768, which belongs to a 1962 FJ40 (2FJ40-16523).
The next picture below shows a vin plate, which clearly shows the engine number as being F 196121, which belongs to a 1964 FJ40 build May 1964 (4FJ40-24587)...the brass tag threw me off into thinking it was a 1965.
And finally, this cart ( http://www.sor.com/fengine.html ) shows F-290409 is dated to 08/69, and then one year later F-325624 is dated as 09/70. These show that your earlier estimation of this engine being out of a "69/70 FJ40" ( in post # 166 above ) that your estimation is incorrect.
I am not trying to be a d!ck here, but your information can be misleading to people reading this in the future...and as they say, pictures are worth a 1000 words.
My guesstimate on the engine F203012 pictured above ( post #168) my guesstimate is still circa 1966

Ok let's put this to rest. I'm not an expert, that's why I ask questions and end sentences with a question mark?
YOU guys are the experts but honestly sometimes you talk in circles.
JohnnyC offered the bit about block castings and I'm aware of the serial # engraved onto the tab (distributor side).
If you go back to page 1 of this thread, YOU were quick to point out that the motor appeared NOT to be correct to the year/model. your statement was that it was an F155 from early 70's.
The truck itself has a VIN# F16520. The motor in it F407242. Cast # 20903
The motor on crate F203012. Cast # 41029 (this motor was pulled from a 69/70 FJ40).
I'm done guessing or confusing anyone (mostly myself). This post is officially a request for an expert to tell me what I have!
Replys are welcome : )
I will also go back and edit my own posts, removing my own guesses, as I would hate to confuse the experts.
