Was a 215 or 223 Ford six ever made

I would like to build a 50s to early 60s Ford truck with a six so were any of those sizes ever made.

I meant in kit form.

Never mass produced in kit form, but where available in resin at one time. I believe Ken is no longer in business. Ford 223 OHV 6 Resin Kit album | Ken Kitchen | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy. Good news is that they are very similar to the period Chevy six, wouldn't be to difficult to modify I suppose.

I would think the Mobius 6 would be fairly close.

It does look similar to a Stovebolt six and everything is about in the same place but a oil filter will need to be added to the block.

Should be a doable project, re arrange the fuel pump and distributor locations, add an oil filter, oil pan re shaping and a little filler putty and scribe lines into the valve lifter plates should do it. Engine color depends on year.
