Guest Commodore Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The engine I can identify. EBP = 223 CID I6 1954 cars and light trucks. 6015 is Ford's basic number for engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The gauges are from a 51-52 Ford truck. Ford went to overhead engines in the 6 cyl in 52, a year earlier than the V8 so it could have been out of a 52, like the gauges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadetree77 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I think the hood ornament is '54 Ford as well. Looks like the one in this picture/list. That would make sense if the engine is from '54. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
