[FC] motor identification...thanks.

It might feel like it has more power because it has 3.89 instead of 3.27 or 3.55 gearing.  Cooling fans do get switched.  The oil cooler might be a clue, but those get switched too.  A more positive ID would head number.  You can also look for the 3 ribs cast into the side of the crankcase that indicate a 164 motor.  Either way, if it runs well, just enjoy it.

For everyone who responded, thanks for the tips, most of which I had  
forgotten! The pully is cast, the fan is magnesium, but it has a generator. It  
FEELS like it has more power than our 63 Monza convertible, which has a 
verified  80hp. So, I'll have to assume for now that this 1961 Greenbriar has a 
'64 95hp  truck motor.
