Does anyone recognise this V8 Diesel engine?

Ello one and all. I have a 1967 F500 sitting on a 1978 Dennis fire engine chassis, 640ci V8 Perkins Diesel 4 speed auto. But I got a slightly broken water pump (sledge hammer...dont ask), anywho, I've just found this engine online, does anyone recognise what it might be out of?

I am guessing a marine app. Your Perkins was an after thought also, so happy hunting.

Welcome aboard

Lol, yup my perkins was an after thought. The thought was, bin the dead Ford chassis, axles, engine, gearbox (transmision to americans ), wheels, tyres, brake, stearing, and replace the whole onsomble with something brittish.

My biggest downfall was trying to dismantle the cooling fan from the water pump with a sledge hammer

I'll post some pictures of it tomorrow

Seems to me that if you replace everything with Brittish components you will only be able to drive during daylight.
