1950 Ford F-2
3/4 Ton "Bonus Built" Pickup

Engine Highlights

In late September 1947, Ford changed the six cylinder engine to the H-Series which had the same bore, stroke and displacement as the earlier G-Series engine (1941 to 1947).

The newer engine had slightly higher compression and the new "Loadamatic" type distributor. Other changes include larger main bearing journals, new rotor type oil pump, newer Holley carburetor (8HA-9510-A), new water pump, and one-piece valve guides. In early 1950 the camshaft was changed. Otherwise, the basic engine remained similar to the G-Series design.

The block and head were of cast iron with the valves located in the block. The newer version gained 5 hp over the G-Series. The engine is easily distinguished from the G-Series by its distributor location. The new Loadamatic distributor is mounted to the left side of the cylinder block near the middle of the engine.

The image at the left is an airflow diagram of the H-Series.
