    can anyone help me identify engines on 1964 roamer?...


    engines are painted blue...

    distributor is at back of engine closest to prop...

    (I am assuming transmission is mounted to bell housing end of engine)

    large water cooled exhaust manifolds

    I just got a quick glimpse... but did not recognise chev small block valve covers

    and thought all ford had front distributor...

    looked like big block though....

    and spark plug wire leads came of distributor at 90 degrees

    any help be appreciated
    thanks

    Big Blocks?

    Maybe, most likely, Lincoln 430s...., lest they be small block Chevys.
