Slick 60's

Wonderring if anyone near Louisville can help me track down HESCO Parts Corporation? I have a rebuilt engine in the '65 350 I bought. Not sure if it is a rebuilt 240 or a 300 or when it was done. The truck came with a 240. Hesco's website is oddly blank. I called the 800 number, nothing. I called a local number and get a generic answering machine. The tax office says their still in business? Let me know if anyone has any ideas or can help me find out any info on the engine. The Hesco tag says it is engine no L-29841. The L is preprinted and the rest of the number is stamped.

L is Landon, as in thier Landon building where it was rebuilt

29 is for 1982 September

8 is Ford Truck

41 is 41st engine of the month....

Well heck I was gonna say I live in Louisville but you already got decoded .

Good info, any idea if it is the original 240 or if it is a replacement engine - possibly a replacement 300? Also curious if it was a rebuild if there is a way to determining how many miles were on the vehicle when it was done. The vehicle has 85,000 miles currently. Thanks for your help.

I'm just dorking around, sorry for the false hope. Really all you have to do is measure the stroke with a thin wood dowel. The stroke will be 3.18" (240) or 3.98" (300)
