Assuming you were talking about the flathead V-8...

It was from a Ford Flathead Six....oh so close.

This is an odd head. I took the photos of it at the Miller Reunion in Milwaukee last year. So it is probably some sort of Indy car head or something like it. I don't know what it fits, but thought I'd throw it out to see if anyone ever saw one. I'm thinking it looks like it fits a Ford V8, or maybe an inline four?

James, that almost looks like one of those mid sixties Indy car engines that had the exhaust pipes that exited from the top of the motor and out the back down the center of the car...I'll try to dig up a photo of one, but I'm still unsure of the type of engine it was, as most were overhead cams.

Guess what type of block this was...

by the way that ford 6 dist was the EARLY 6 cylinder engine design years were 1941-47--the later design engine1947-1957 uses a cap that looks like a conventional dist cap not the crab style like the one in the picture -those heads look like a 4 cylinder design used rocker pedastals if you look at the pics ya can see the mounting pads--doubt if it is a racing piece a u flow head might not be that efficient---the block a Mopar ??
