Default 1971 Mach 1 engine... can you help with details?

Hi there,
My ex left this engine in my garage, and I'd like to unload it. I don't know much about it, except that it's for a 1971 Mach 1. I either can't find numbers on it, or just don't know where to look. It looks like it was painted??? Before I try to sell it, I need to figure out some things about it!

Any details you can give me would be very helpful. I have more pictures, so if you need me to post/email them, let me know. I'm not an evil ex-wife, he just hasn't paid a dime in child support, and I need the money BADLY.

Hi!

Sorry to hear he is being a bastard. I can't help you with ID, but try to find some masking or duct tape, and put it over the hole you see in the picture. When people are looking to buy these, they will get a better impression of condition if someone took the time to protect the motor by covering holes (motors dont like dirt )

Good luck!

You should find some numbers over on the passenger side of the engine.

Maybe see if you aren't too far from HoneygoldCoupe. He's in IL, too. Southern end. Def. Looks like a 351C and looks to be 4v. Is that a Vic Jr. Intake??

Just put it on craigslist as a 351c and say something like 500 or best offer.
