Doesn’t look like a Model T Ford to me

I see some new parts on it. Does it run? Definitely not Model T!

Because of the location of the oil/water pump and no way to mount a fan it might have been for a boat (maybe). You might try asking over here;

As it looks to have a pulley on the back, could have been a stationary engine running a belt line in a shop or ?

My guess is it started out as an early MC or aircraft engine.
Definitely early, teens possibly, not Model T, or any other Ford I've ever seen.

I have not tried to run it as I have to fabricate water outlets first. I cannot find a similar engine in Google or the auto forums. Had it looked at by a group of early boat engine restorers and they thought it was not a marine engine. Thanks for the input! Steve

Well how early of boats were these guys working with, I would say this motor is from the teens. Smokstak has a lot of different sections. One might be a better fit then others or try one of the national antique car clubs.

Thanks, I have it on the AACA and smokestak both.

31steve, which section in Smokstak? I would like to follow over there and see what they come up with.
I found it. There a bit more info if you got it from a guy named Tim

There was a link to above in your posting over there.

Tim was the previous owner. We did a trade at Portland.

Looks a LOT like a 1910-15 REO engine....

Sure does but the carb and mag are on opposite sides on mine.
