Does anyone know of a kit or resin 230 Ford inline 6 cyl to use in an AMT 53 Ford pickup truck kit?

Some info here on the Mileage Maker six...

That engine should be a 223, used in trucks and cars up through 1964. Then the 240, a different design was used. The 300 followed in trucks. I believe that one of the Moebius Ford trucks has a 6, if it was 1964 or earlier it should be a 223. 

VCG Resins has a nice 240/300, I'm using a performance one in a stock car. He may have a stock one, look at Iceman too.

Edit: This is the stock 240/300 VCG Resins kit. Sold out, but close to what you want. I would just sand the valve cover smooth.

I started to respond similarly but not being an expert on Ford sixes I didn't. Thanks for the info.

The 223 and 240 look nothing alike.

Eh not even close. A couple Mobius Ford trucks do have the later 6 in them.
