All I could figure out was that it was out of a 1978 full size ford car.

Look at the bolts that hold down the valve cover. If the bolts are parallel to each other along the cover the engine is a Windsor, if the bolts are staggered along the cover the engine is a Cleveland.

A Cleveland is a tight fit between the shock towers. Post a pic of the engine if you can
