HELP! im trying to figure out what engine this is, I think its a Lincoln 332... Very confused. Carburator tag says its for a '59 332. But it seems like everything i come to is inconclusive. Looking to put this motor in my '60 F250 4x4. Will upgrade in the future, but this is the engine that came in the bed of the truck when i bought it. supposedly came out of an F600 or F700 Dumptruck if that helps. Looks like the bellhousing lines up. Originally had a 292 in my truck. Any help identifying would be greatly apprecated. need to know so if i need to order parts I can. Good motor, fired right off when I hooked a battery up to it.
Carb Tag reads CET-9AB-L
waterpump reads ECU-6059-B
Intake Manifold reads ECT-9425-C
This was on the side of the block, looks like it reads 5750261 or 57502G1
Also on one of the sides of the block, reads 9F20:1 I think?
to me, it looks identical to the one in the diagram below, the fan placement, and ram horn looking exhaust manifolds, and oil filler cap and neck look exatly like mine. the website i got it off of says "Lincoln Y-Block outfitted for HD truck use. Later versions were 302 and 332 cu. in. with 3.66" steel cranks."
here is the link to the website i got it off of... if we are making conclusions based off the waterpump, its a 332 according to the website. just not sure what is the most reliable marking to base it off of. http://www.ford-y-block.com/lincoln.htm

Reason: added some more information
I think you will find the engine to bell pattern different than your 292. Have you checked it directly?
Lincoln derived Y blocks were found in the larger trucks until '63. Only the oil pump and distributor interchange.
The links you have are probably about all there is to find.
Parts can be found but expect a struggle.
there was an adapter plate on the back of the engine, I took it off, and it looks like the bellhousing pattern is the same. I’ll have to measure it out, but just by eyeballing it, it should fit.
