when and what
#2
from what ive read they were made in th60s and ive only seen one 534 in a 74 F750 i think it was a 750 anyway. I asked about them a while ago from what i understood they were a LARGE FE if im wrong please tell me i had the chance to buy a 477 but ran short of money, I stilll really want one.

These engines were used in the late 1950's large trucks.
The 401 came with the F-850, F-950.
The 477 came with the F-1000 (standard), F-1100 (as an option)
The 534 came with the F-1100
Same for C-series (tilt cab), and T-series (tandem)
Not positive on this one, but I think they may even preceed 1957.
The Super Duty engines were kind of in a "family" of there own.

Nope, these are strictly industrial engines, low compression, low revving high torque...
They are positively HUGE also...
That one is missing the oil pan, that's a Holley double pumper on there, and those are 8x8's(IIRC, might be 12x12's) it's sitting on...
Have fun fitting it any automotive application.

That ain't no double pumper on there, that's a single line Holley, probably around 600cfm.
They do favor the FE design though. Especially the heads. Where does the distributor go? behind the turbo charger looking waterpump?
I've never seen any of these dinosours before. It looks really heavy!!!

There are two 534's for sale on EBAy right now.One for $500 running. 534's came with a Holley that was a governed unit with a second set of throttle plates connected to the governor. The Holley was rated at something like 375CFM. I have a Ford 534 Seamaster Marine engine running in a boat. Smooth & dependable but not very exciting, except to know it will still be running for a long, long time.
