Help me identify this Ford engine for a customer...

Will definitely take the pan off. I'd like to get the intake manifold and heads off as well. It's kind of my Mo to tear them down at least that far. It was reported that it ran just fine. It just look like hell...

Well in that case you'll be able to get the crank casting number and see what stroke it is and measure the bore. Then you'll know what it is. The FE series engines are somewhat archaic, kinda like slant sixes. But they are also really good engines. Kinda like slant sixes.
