Ford.

289 or a 302
Could also be either a 260 or 351 Winsdor.

It looks to me like 351w there should be a serial number on the side of the block
My .02..... it's not a 351, the top bolt for the timing covers would be farther down (nearly an inch and a half), due to a taller deck on the 351 than the 302.
And it's usually stamped on the head.

Late 60's or 70's. Casting numbers would help ID it. Look for something starting with C8OE or D0OE or something similar.

The quickest way of differentiating between the different familys of Ford engines is to simply count the valve cover bolts.
6 bolts: 221/260/289/302/351W

With out knowing the numbers on block/head
302 best guess
Does it have 4 bolt mains?

It has a 2 bolt main.
Z 2736 D 161631 This is marked on the top of the block Inside in the casting in the lifter valley it says 80
Thanks again for all the help guys

The intake on a 351 windsor will be 1 1/2 in wider than a 302 or 89, due to the taller deck height. Heads, number of valve cover bolts, even the valve covers themselves are the same. The heads off of a 351 or 400 even though a lot bigger block will actually bolt on a 302, but takes a skinny aftermarket intake.
Ford made V8s with overhead valves?

The pedestal non adj. rocker arms indicate a mid 70's up small block. Going by lifter valley width, from what I can see, i would believe a 302..
I worked at a Ford dealership for a number of years. Just judging from the photo, I'd say definitely not a 221 or 260 and most likely not a 289. I would say it's a 302. Since the pans and covers are off, check for a casting number on the crankshaft. A parts store or the Ford dealership can then tell you what it is.
It's been thirty years since I worked in an engine shop, but I could still recognize a Ford. Now you just need something to drop it in.

i recommend you shoot it with a 45-70-550
I never worked in an engine shop, nor for a Ford Dealership, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last summer and I'm going with 302.
