| The 240 and 300 have the intake and exhaust on the other side so I am pretty sure the engines in the P400's are 223's but different valve covers, one is a 59 so maybe the change came in 59? One other item is, didn't they go to the silent lash type rockers around this time? although I haven't had the valve covers off the P400s I was told that they have those style rockers.
 55 Vicky & customline 58 Rack Dump, 55 F350 yard truck, 57 F100 59 & 61 P 400's, 58 F100 custom cab, 69 F100, 79 F150, 82 F600 ramp truck, 90 mustang conv 7 up, 94 Mustang, Should I continue?

If that picture in the page before is a 223, then the 170 also has the manifold on the other side (Passenger Side). So does the 200, I believe.

| Tim's correct, the change over happened in 1960 to the cover that bolts down all the way around insted of the 2 bolt that started in 1952. I have sales brochures that show the change, and also a few Chilton/Motor's annuals that show the same.
