What is this engine?

I should know what it is, but I do not.

It's a diesel for sure. Looks like a 7.3 maybe?

Diesel of some sort.

Probably Ford, looking at the bellhousing.

Edit:

I see a HPOP assembly on the front of the engine. Powerstroke.

It was left behind for a reason.

It's probably a boat anchor.

It's free. What else do you need to know?

7.3 powerstroke is correct

Probably worth like $15 in scrap.

They're 850 lbs so whatever that works out to.  I always found it interesting that the 5.9 Cummins though was 1150 lbs.

Holy sweet Jeebus... do I see an SAE bellhousing on top?

That is worth a lot to me.

And 7.3 strokes are fantastic engines.  That one might have seen better days, but they're a 350k engine.  If it was a running/driving example, they'll easily bring $2000.  Reman longblocks go for $4000.  Complete engine/wiring/ECM can bring $3000 sometimes even with high miles.

That's about $85 based on the $200/ton I got last week

Not sure about the SAE designation # on the powerstrokes but I have a couple of those adapters floating around the shop if you need one.

Don't need, just crave.  Back in the day I went on a quest for all the SAE bellhousings I could find.  They're like the ultimate in certain trans swaps on the cheap.  I looked forever for a #5 or #6 for a VW because someone said it existed.

If you had a CBOP or MB SAE housing, I'd be asking for your Venmo.
