I am having trouble identifying this engine. Pulled from a 49 F2, it has no casting numbers on the heads, only FORD ovals, and only 2 numbers and a letter stamped in the block back edge. 24 head bolts, front dist and bell housing unbolts. I haven't pulled the head and checked bore and stroke yet. I was told it was a 239. Any input would be appreciated. Bob This message was edited by rsvanam on 2-15-21 @ 4:35 PM

Looks like an 8BA style motor common in trucks from 1948-1953, or cars from 1949-53. It would be 239 cubic inches. The ignition wires are aftermarket, and the carb may be passenger car. It may be the original engine from your F-2, but it is hard to say what was replaced in the last 70+ years.

I agree that its prob a 8BA, was wondering why the heads have no numbers on them at all and what head they may be?

It doesn't have a truck pan on it. But it has truck pumps and what appears to be a truck 1/2 bell housing. ______________ No signature

Checked the heads are not aluminum. I'm mainly wondering why the heads have no casting numbers.

It has a truck cooling fan (multi blades), and I agree it is a 239, 8ba, 100 horse power 1949-1953. Regards, Steve Lee

Could be Ford generic replacement heads?
