I think that its a '61 223. The distributor hole is between the #1 & 2 cylinders & not centered on the block, so its not a 215. On the left side of the block, there's only one cast rib above the oil pan line & theres a timing chain, so its probably not a 262. The picture (at on my computer) isn't clear enough to see if the rocker arms are the silent lash type, but I don't see the studs for the earlier (pre '60) valve cover. If you put a "C" in the first diget position it becomes: C1AE-6015-K, a standard ford part number for an engine block cast/designed in '61. I think that thats about it, anyone smarter than me & have any better ideas (hope so!)?
