Them 250 log motors were in the F100's till mid 1978 and then they went to the X Flow 4.1L as to the ADR laws for the F100's and the Falcons got the X Flow 7 1976.

Sure it wasn't one of those log style 300ci 6's that were available in some F trucks from that era.
My Brother had an old F truck as a horse carrier which died in the **** in Hay en route to Adelaide and when we spoke with the Ford dealer there they said it was a Canadian? 300ci and not a 250.

No it was a 250 Log head as I pulled the head off it to replace the head gasket from weeping and that where I seen the valves sitting proud because that's how they sit with seat inserts and the Falcon heads valves are flush.

The big 240 and 300 6 cyl look totally different to our 250 not to mention that they were gone by 1975 in our F100's and I am sure it was only the 4X4 up to mid 1975 that only got them engines in the end as they were imported from Canada I believe.

Australia had the 240 and 300 in 2x4 F100's before 1974 in the older body style and no Aussie 250 in them but for the new model that 1st came out in 1974 in Australia.
