Is it a six cylinder? Ford made a 144 cid engine enlarged it to a 170 CID engine that later was enlarged to 200cid. that engine was used in the Fairlane/ Comet line of Ford products. I know that they used some of these in industrial application no doubt with
some slight modification. They were pretty reliable, but the 144 was not stong enough
for hill counrty. The 170 and 200's were much better.
