Default Unknown FORD V8 engine

Hello,

I was looking for a Ford V8 in working condition for my FGT. My friend found this - please, don't you know which engine is it? I mean - country of origin, year of manufacture and - would it fit to cab 13? (I have WWII oil pan to change this one..)

Thank you,
Frankie

Default head

The heads (24 nuts) are marked "FOR SAF" - South Africa?

The French were making and using the V8 up into the 70's,

Hello
It's not an french army engine,(marmont and cargo) it has the distributor on the side like the 49US engine, maybye an ford poissy, it has the helmet distributor,like yours but a normal carburator.
This engine looks more as an industrial engine?

Cheers
Sylvain

It is an industrial engine. It has a governor on it. It appears to have military style filters on the electrics.
Maybe from a gen set or saw mill?
The GEFA will be the "give a way" to someone who has access to the various engine models.
