Ok

I'm in the UK
When I bought the part built project there was an engine there with documentation proving it was new and unused which aided me in getting it shrough the SVA tests here.

It is from the Rover / Range Rover / Land Rover V8 group at 3.9l

The engine number says it was supplied to Morgan

And then the previous owner had it taken to full TVR race spec.

And at the time Landrover was owned by Ford so is this a Ford?

I decided to live with this motor until it breaks (Hopefully not too soon) then go for a more period correct Ford unit.
