Looking for info on this engine

These are photos that I took of the cylinder head. Story and known info below.



When my grandfather passed 17 years ago I was given his truck. It's a 71 Ford F-100 that had a 302 V-8 but was told by family members that when it blew, my grandfather swapped it with a 4 cylinder inline diesel that came out of a wonder bread truck. Under the first injector has FL printed pretty large. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Closest I can come:

Post pictures with the whole engine in view. Also, in your second picture, there is script writing cast into the part at the lower part of the picture. What is the full word or words there?

THanks for the reply. In the second photo that is the fuel pump made by Simms. As for the link you attached, it looks identical expect the fuel pump on mine is mounted further back on the block and I only have one fuel filter, that one has two.

That seems to be associated with Fordson diesels from the '50s and '60s. I'm out of time tonight, but check this one:

If you do a search by "Simms P4664" you will see what I'm talking about.
