    The 6 cyl looks like a 216 or early 235 chev.

    No idea on the v8. Never seen anything like that before.
     
  4. The V8 looks like a Vulcan aircraft engine, but I can's see the holes for the sparkplugs (hemi type).
     

  5. The V8 doesn't appear to have any intake passages except perhaps between the valves. How big is it? Maybe it is a truck diesel? Are there spark plug holes or perhaps a place for diesel injectors. I have no idea what it is. Notice there is a distinctive shape to the rear end of where the valve cover would go which someone might recognise on a complete engine.

    I think you're right, it's likely a diesel...I was hoping it was a hemi :( Oh well.

    Here's an image of a Ford diesel with the valve cover off:

    A hemi would have two rows (upper and lower) of valves instead of all 8 in one row.

    First one is an International Powerstroke found in Ford trucks and the second is an early stovebolt Chevrolet engine

    Boys you should know what the V8 is. 3208 CAT diesel. One of the worst engine that CAT ever made,

    #2 engine is late 30s judging by the trans(i have one too) and its a 216 because of the side cover goes up onto the head.

    If you get a chance, get the trans off the 216 - looks pre- war & they're getting hard to find. There might be some parts someone can use if it hasn't weathered badly.
