Default Sandblasting good time

This is the results of half a days worth of blasting with my princess auto tank and my vintage air compressor made in 1953 . That old air compressor is capable of 125 cfm when it was new , and it still has no trouble keeping up to my 3/16" nozzle. Can anyone guess if that 6cyl engine is a dodge or conti.?

Default continental

Looks like a Continental with the distributor through the cylinder head. I think all the Dodges have the distributor down on the side.
