I have bought an F3 1949 Pickup to restore
I had what I thought was a Mustang engine but
The casting marks on the block don't look like
anything I can find on Fords or Chevys!
It has:

W
AK27

Any help appreciated

Its not a chevy W, dizzy in the wrong place, heads the wrong shape:


I think its a Ford Windsor or FE. Are there any other stampings/numbers etc?

ETA: ref oil filter placement, sounds like an FE:
It looks like the lower picture engine but the oil filter sticks out horizontally
and the rocker box is a rectangle shape and not curved!
