what motor is that???
hi guys, a mate of mine has an old tractor he has fitted a V8 and two speed too many years ago from a wrecked ranchwagon, i have tried to post the pics but the site won't allow motor shots( so it tells me) the block has cast into the right side the following-5HL9
17
B9AE-B or 3
machined areas on the front right side--C1ZB
machined area at rear -- C14ZBV
on the manifold--GOAE8425A/9AX
dizzy is at the front with the farward two plugs facing rearward and the rear two facing forward, the manifold was produced in canada and had a two barrell fitted.
any ideas??, if u know how i can paste the pics that may help.

How many vlave cover bolts?
5 should be an FE motor. Although the cast numbers don't look familiar.
If you determine it is an FE, that's only half the battle. I could be almost any of the FE displacements. You really have to ID the crank and measure the bore to figure it out.

Now that's my kind of tractor 
Looks like an early 60's FE car motor, I base that on the motor mount locations as well as the oil filter mount and filler location. Let the experts chime in for sure though...

hey guys, i was told he thought i may have been from a 61/62 ranchwagon, he beleives it to be a big block, i notice that the FE series includes the likes of my 272/292 fitted to different f100's, but the inlet differs, without pulling it appart, there must be another way of telling the size.

Hi! Looks like either a 332 or 352. Do a stroke test. Manually turn the engine over to TDC. Remove the #1 and #4 spark plugs. Take a small diameter wooden dowell or some insulated 12 ga. solid wire and stick it down the #1 hole parallel with the cylinder. Make a mark on the dowell or wire where it hits the valve cover lip. Now pull it out and do the same for the #4 hole, don't turn the engine over. Measure the distance between your two marks and that's your stroke. A 332 has a 3.30" stroke, the 352 a 3.50" stroke.
