Hello all,

Son brought home an 86 F-150 4x2 last night. Starts good runs terrible,body needs some work. Wants to fix it up a little (first vehicle) . I said sure, (good to get him interested in somthing) but I'm no mechanic. First thing is a tune up. What we need to know is what size is the motor likely to be? It's an inline six, pretty straightforward under the hood. found a sticker under the hood that has 4.9L , followed by the plug size(I'm assuming) and the plug gap( .042-.046) Is the engine a 4.9litre and what does that equate to in cubic inches? Also for intersts sake how does one convert litres to cubic inches?

Thanks for any help

4.9L six cylinder would be the 300ci six

Thanks. Haven't worked on a vehicle in many many years. Looking forward to it. Hope the boy keeps up the interest though and it doesn't become just my project.
