Well, according to my Motors Truck Repair Manual, the 279 was last used in the 1955 model 750, 1956 and 1957 used: 6-223, V8-272, V8-302, and V8-332.

Torque specs for the 1955 V8-279 are listed as follows: (all values are Ft. Lbs.)

Spark plugs: 15-20

Cylinder head 90 (bolts marked "FT" 110)

Intake manifold 23-28

Exhaust manifold 23-28

Rocker shaft support 12-15 (with stiffening plates 22-25)

Rocker cover 2-2.5

Conn. rod cap 45-50

Main Bearing cap 120-130

Flywheel to Crankshaft 75-85

Damper of Pulley 130-145

The fourth digit on the warranty number is the engine designation:

1955: V V8-239, Z V8-256, J V8-279, K V8-317

1956: V V8-272 light duty, Z V8-272 heavy duty, R V8-272 4 bbl, J V8-302, A V8-302 4 bbl, K V8-332, S V8-332 4 bbl.

The 1955 F 750 is supposed to have the V8-279, the 1956 thru 1963 F 750 is supposed to have the V8-302, and the 1964 should have the V8-361.

I hope that somewhere in this post you find what you need!

I also have Ford repair manuals for 1954-55, 1961, part manuals for 1948-55, and 1956. Let me know if you need any information from these books.
