No way to really know for sure...as all FE engines look pretty much the same and people love to swap parts around.

Going by the valve covers, it could be a 352 from a 1958/64 Ford Passenger Car as 1961/64 390 valve covers were marked THUNDERBIRD and were painted gold. 1962/64 406/427 valve covers were plain.

1958/64 FE engines only installed in Passenger Cars, have rounded valve covers without holes in them for oil cap/smog valve. Engine oil fill tube on right (passenger) side-front.

1958/64 FE engines have a different bolt pattern on the block for the rubber insulators than 1965/76 FE engines.

In order to install these engines in 1965/76's, brackets have to be fabbed to use the correct insulators.

First off when I saw the F O R D on the valve covers I had to take a second look. Here are three pictures of the valve cover that was on the passenger side. The two holes were towards the front. The that looks like it was made was the one that the bolt was in. The other hole lined up with a notched area on the head.

"Typical" 1958/64 FE engine and valve cover. Compare with typical 1965/76 FE engine at lower left.

360 (possibly a 390, but not likely with a 2-bbl carb) out of a '70s U-Haul truck, farm truck or other industrial application. Thermostat housing and upward arching hose is the indicator. Possibly a modified 361/391, but the exhaust manifold looks like an FE application, rather than for an FT engine. Didn't think an FE exhaust can be installed on a FT head, but FE heads might work on an FT block, thus making it a Franken FE-FT. ND knows, I am sure.

1973/78 F350's made exclusively for U-Haul came with the 330 2V Medium aka Xtra Duty FT engine.
