Best I can find is MEL motors have evenly spaced exhaust ports, so that is not one. As for how many CI it would have if it's a SBC, no one can tell from that picture. Only a measurement of the bore and stroke would tell. There are many stock displacements and many additional combinations. As with the Ford FE, nearly all of them look the same externally.

Y would have two bolt valve covers, thus no perimeter bolt holes for valve covers. It would also have a valley cover under the intake, and thus a surface for that to mount to and seal. I can't tell from the pic. Front sump though, that's not an SBC feature.

The Ford Y blocks had the intake ports stacked not side by side. My guess is maybe an AMC motor, but it's hard to tell with that picture

The 318 and 360 Mopars share the chevy style head port arrangement and use a timing cover similar to the one shown though not exactly the same, but does that timing cover belong to this motor is is it just laid there?
