1962 F750 Fire Truck

Hello Fellow Ford Fans;
I am new to this forum but certainly not new to Fords. For many generations my family has used Fords for work and sport. There is even a rare '28 business Coupe in the family.
Today I need some help with our latest purchase:
1962 Ford F750 Fire Truck
WB 174
Color J
Model F754
Trans Axel L 75E
5 Speed
Max GVW 22,000 lbs
Cert Net HP 173 @ 3600
VIN: F75FU211092
We are not able to find the engine size anywhere and would appreciate help identifying which engine we have.
The engine is a V8 and the distributor is at the rear of the engine on the PASSENGER side sticking out at an angle.
Please help us learn more about this truck.
It is a true survivor with 11,500 original miles and is in awesome original condition.
Thanks for any info you may wish to share.
Doug

OFTG, Welcome. I have a 1972 Ford fire truck. It's a C900/ American LaFrance. There are some members on the large truck forum that know a lot about fire trucks. You might want to post over there too. They have been very helpful to me.
