That appears to be an older Ford six, probably a 223, possibly a 215. Unlikely a 262.
EBP 6015 L is a casting number last used in 1959. The head appears to have the later 8 bolt mounting from '60 to '64. The block casting could have carried over into the '60s, I am not sure.
I have similar motor. It in Asplundh wood chipper. They didn't really now year or type of engine. I was told 1970 300 inline 6. Unfortunately nothing seams even close. Attached pics of what I need to identify to restore. It is an 8 bolt head # 5753215
Top hose on pump with fan 4 bolt. Bottom hone from radiator is 3 bolts.
I don't remember what is supposed to be connected to carb on left side. Its female threading I have a yellow wire connector set in it for visual. Any help in getting me in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated to get correct parts needed.
Thanks in advance.

That's not a 240/300 That is the older I-6. The newest production vehicle those came in was a 1964. You can tell the 223 style engine by the four intake runners and when looking at the engine from the front the manifolds will be on the right side of the engine. Where the 240/300 will have 6 intake runners and will have the manifolds on the left side of the engine.
According to the industrial engine tag the oldest that engine could be is a 1956.
Not sure what went to that carb spacer. Usually on a industrial style engine that's some kind of governor. But I'm not sure maybe it had coolant going thru that spacer to help keep the fuel from boiling in the carb? I'd pull the carb off and check the spacer out to see if the ports go into the carb opening of the spacer. If it does then it could be for vacuum hoses. If it doesn't then it could be for coolant.

So it looking to be a 223 oldest year 1956. If it went into production car up to 1964 it would be in that range for related parts or manuals? If I can source closer data to pin it down for parts and assembly info for carb questionable in port. I'll be hopefully getting it put together with the closest operations. Is there anything else I should be checking to help me along my way on getting it running? Thank you.

I've had 3 or 4 223's in 50's trucks. But I'm not really as knowledgeable on the 223 info as I am on the 240/300's. Your engine should be in the 56-59 range due to the tag & valve cover. The earlier 215/223's had the valve cover that just had the two studs thru the top. The later ones ( 60-64 223/262 ) went to a perimeter bolt on style cover.
The carb looks similar to the ones I had, but all of mine were the glass float bowls. But that carb spacer on yours turns your carb 90 degrees, compared to the ones I had. Mine all had the float bowls facing the front of the engine.
If you want a parts break down I would try to find a mid to late 50's Ford truck parts catalog or manual.

Thank you for the additional information. I will see if I can find Parts/Manual for that era. Since this is in a chipper and Labeled Ford Industrial Motors the small differences in Carb make sense. It looks to be a governor. The only other thing that I am not familiar with is if this a Diesel or gasoline engine? For that era what could be the determining things to know or look for?
