I just came across a 1959 Ford F-600 (two ton) dullies, single barrel carb.  I believe it has the original motor. Air cleaner says 186 HP. A friend knew I was looking for a rebuildable 292 and put me on to this truck. Its free if I take the whole thing. The truck is in great shape, minor rust and very good sheetmetal. I expected it to have the "ram horn" exhaust being on a two ton, but it has the crossovers. We jumped it and it turned over but I did not want to try again. My question is, assuming this is the original engine, is it a good one to rebuild for a 56 F-100 project truck?  The truck is in such good shape, I hate to think of not keeping it. I would like some opinions on what engine this might be if in fact it was the original motor. Thanks!
