That's what drives me crazy about ford (I've run them all my life) Had two 81 f-100's at one time, according to the vin they came off the same assembly plant a couple thousand apart. Both 300 manuals, one a 3 on the tree and the other a bull low 4spd (np235).
Swapping engines found p/s and alternator in different spots and something else I don't remember now. ford is always like this "was it built BEFORE this date or after"...grrr!
