Hey Dave, I'm getting ready to put a 2F under my 3F-E head in my 62. Not too sure about an early F block. I know that they don't have all the accessory mounting holes for PS, A/C and smog pumps. What are you puting this in?

 

[Dave E]

trying to convert my 73 F to fuel injection. The chevy conversion is doable, but I'd need a special chip. I havent found one I can afford, nor can I program my own. cruise_Utah has a set up for sale, and I'm wondering if it would work on my F.

As much as I love F motors there is no reason ever to try to really mod them. There are just too many 2Fs around. The early to med F will not work with the 3FE head as the oiler is external on the F and the 3FE needs the internal oiler used on very late F, and all 2Fs and 3Fs.

 

[Dave E]

73 is a late F isnt it? On mine the oiler is a litte brass pipe that come up throught the head to a fitting around the rocker arm shaft.

No. '73 is a F. Some '74 and '75s had the internal oiler that runs off the cam bearing and pushes oil into the rockers stnd then through the one piece shaft. If you have an external oiler and/or a 2 part shaft it is an external oiling F
