    a 3 series is less likely to have a porous block!!

    There's no easy way to tell the difference between a series 2 and series 3 engine as they're the same thing, they'll have the model number 268 CID stamped on them. The famous Ford porous block wasn't solved until the powerstar engines in the 40 series tractors, but these can also be retro fitted any older tractors all the way back to the thousand series.

    thanks for the info, i thought the ribbed block was a series 3 engine?, and solved the porous problem, but im not a ford expert.
