From what I see it's a Ford small block engine - 289/302 or 351 cubic
inches. In the 351 version it was commonly called a Windsor to differentiate
it from the Cleveland version which had significantly different architecture
than the Windsor - most importantly in the cylinder heads.
I doubt is a performance version.
I would have thought the depositor of the engine would have taken the chain
with them.

I'd guess it's a Ford, probably an early '80s version of their 5-liter V8.
The exhaust manifold suggests it was a high performance model, maybe from
a 5.0 Mustang. Ken Waller can probably say for sure. I doubt anyone would
have discarded it. It's worth a fair amount just as scrap. Cleaned up and
rebuilt it could be worth quite a bit.

Saw this on the side of the road and couldn't resist spending some time
taking photos of it. I'm woefully ignorant of American Iron, but I'm
guessing that it might be MOPAR:

I think it also works in black and white:

As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.
