Body on here is done. JUNK. But the engine looks promising. Anybody got any ideas on the block?

or a 302, pretty hard to tell. My money would be on a 351 but it is honestly really 50/50 with my knowledge at this point

Looks like a run of the mill 289 or 302.

Any casting numbers?

A hunk of engine shaped metal.

(289 possibly)

If its the original motor, it's a 260. They didn't put 289s in the 1964 1/2 models.

If not, it's like a 289 or 302.

The 351 had a raised block, which this doesn't look like (but I could be wrong) and is otherwise identical. I don't think it's a cleveland.

Cleveland and Windsor both have distributors on the front.

Not a Cleveland, the radiator hose goes to the manifold. Clevelands went straight to the block. Also Clevelands used 8-bolt valve covers. This is a plain old 260-351 Windsor with some aftermarket parts.
