Post some pictures of it. Get shots of the thermostat housing, intake manifold, valve covers, front and back of the motor. Post them in your gallery and someone here can probably ID it.

You might also tell us what brand and model and year if you know.

OK I'll take a stab, Where is the distrubitor located, How many bolts hold the valve covers in place, Where is the dipstick located, where is the oil fill, what color is it, what is the firing order. What shape is the transmission pan and how many bolts hold it in place?

Otherwize I'm gonna guess that it's a 320 Hudson V8

This was my son's motor that he left in my garage a few years ago. He said it was a 351W. I was just trying to figure what year it may be so I can sell it. What is something like this worth? I know he gave 600 for it.

3ae-9425-hb

There is a digit missing at the start. Probaboy an E.

I say is it an 351W out of a 83 Ford car.

Look for casting numbers that look like this.

ie: *3C22*

6 valve cover bolts ?
