    I can't help you with decoding the VIN. Try a '64 or other years Galaxie site for that.
    The 260-302 intakes are the same.

    I believe the 221's were only used in 62 and 63 Fairlanes. I had a 62 with a 221 in it. It is the same block as a 260, 289 or 302. an intake for either would work.

    Ronald,
    Did you see the latest issue of Shorthorns with the Bearcat photo?

    Is that the way you remember seeing them?

    Intake will fit. On another note, be careful the 221, 260 and early 289's require a 5 bolt bellhousing.

    Posted before I read Maverick 1970's post he is correct the 221, 260 and early 289's had a five bolt bell housing also did not have a PCV system only had a road draft tube with a wire mesh breather. All were equiped with a generator instead of an alternator until 1965.
