Help identifying engine

[PowerPlant]

I hope this is the right section to post this in...

I acquired a box of random parts, including what looks like a nice Ford engine...

I suspect it comes from this kit, but may be wrong:

I don't know much about modern pickups... Can anyone identify the engine and kit it comes from?

Much appreciated

The basic engine (minus the intake manifold and serpentine belt setup) could pass for any of the 'smallblock' Ford V8 engines in the 260 /289 /302 /5.0L /351 (5.8L) Windsor family. The shape of the valve cover base is the giveaway, as all of those engines have a similar shape.

You're right Matija. That is the 5.8 engine from the partial '93 F150 Flareside kit you have. I've built a couple of them.

Thanks for the quick responses guys!

Roger, is that the 1/25 AMT kit?

Yes. It's the 1/25 AMT kit from the '90s.
