V8 acquired
Its been some time since my last contribution to this thread. Still collecting spares for this project to be at hand when the time comes. Recently acquired a new heart for her. It comes from a generator unit stationed at the back of an american GMC truck. There are some parts that will need to be stripped of and replaced, like the carburator, clutch, single pulleys? etc. The oil pan also has some additions. Otherwise it seems to be a good engine with little milage, it turns freely and it is dry. There seems to be the original factory paint lurking underneath the grey.
Can anybody please identify the type and year of production? Is it US made? There is F59A casted on the heads and FAPS FORD GEFA 6045 and few numbers on the block as seen on the last picture very below.
