Hard to say without being sure which engine you have. If it's a big block swapped in, could be anything.

why would any one disgrace a auto co that way? if it says Ford on the front end then I put Ford made parts back on or parts made for Fords. if it has a bow tie on the front then those parts are what I use I don't like mixing parts from one to the other

I agree. But I have seen them with Dodge motors. I would never buy one with motors swapped, but that's me.
