Maybe the "depositor" didn't know he was, and will be back to pick it up
again as soon as he realizes.

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.
