It almost looks like a 1958 Nash Rambler 6cyl engine. I could be wrong, but that's my best guess from the view shown.

By the valve cover, it looks like an earlier Nash engine, probably from the 40's.

DJ,

Again I could be very wrong but didn't Nash use flat head 6 cyl's until the early 50's? I hardly know anything about Nash. The only one I've ever worked on was a 58 Rambler. This engine resembled the one I put in the car. That's where my guess came from.

I don't think it is a Nash. See photos.

I think you may be right. After more searching it looks closer to a 1953 Chevy 6cyl. What do you think?

Sure does Dan.

I agree that it might be a Chevrolet six cylinder probably an early 235. The "might be" comes from the fuel pump and the starter mountings seem wrong. Where the crankcase breather would mount has a bolted plate mounted and the earlier motors had a push in collector with a tube on it. So maybe it's not a GM after all.

Disagree. Not Chevy as even the starters on the early ones were mounted on this side. Also the serial is in the wrong location. A lead is to look for an engine with the pushrod tubes pressed in the head like this one. Dandy Dave!

Not familiar with these but maybe Ford?? http://www.foleyengines.com/sites/default/files/u6/Ford300.3.jpg

It's not a Ford. The lifter cover is different.

Looks more like an early version of the 6 cylinder overhead valve Rambler motor. But even that does not look 100 percent correct... Dandy Dave!

I'm beginning to think this is not domestic product. I haven't found anything produced on this side of the pond which is a good match - yet. Hoping someone might prove me wrong. Jan is in the Netherlands which might expand the search considerably. We have all been concentrating on cars - how about trucks? Doesn't look like Cornbinder, though.

I think you are right. It could be foreign. Not IHC. As the distributor and plugs are on the other side. And I have been searching trucks as a possibility also. Dandy Dave!

it sure can be european because I have found engines from different countries in the same shed

I am also looking all over the internet for that engine

iff I wana buy this engine I have to pay 20 dollar for it

I dont think thats to much

Is it a petrol version of an older Bedford engine? 1950's and 60's. Like the fellows sometimes use to convert for use in there Fordson Major Diesels. They stretch the hood and frame and drop in a 6 in exchange for the factory 4. Oh, and $20 sound like scrap price or less. Dandy Dave!

BINGO! http://www.trucknetuk.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=35284 Sell it to the guys on, "The Fordson Tractor Pages that Do Conversions." I knew it looked familiar. Dandy Dave!

Digging deeper, the OY series was used extensively in war production vehicles starting in 1939... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford_Vehicles Even though it is quite stripped, if it is a good core engine, I'm sure collectors of these vintage Bedford vehicles would love to have it. Dandy Dave!

Dandy Dave you are great

Manny thanks. :-)
