Can you tell what this engine is?

[Aussiebean]

I have found a 1958 Series 1 109 LWB in a field, chassis number is 123801007, it looks ok in the chassis, a small amount of rust in the bulkhead, the question I have, can anyone tell me what the engine is, the guy thinks it is a holden, but I am not sure, due to its location, I could not see the engine number
Thank you in advance
cheers

The original spread bore 2 litre (1998cc).

Same overhead inlet valve side exhaust valve configuration as the later six cylinders.

Its a 1958 model (123801007) likely sold to the customer in about December 1958 or January 1959 according to the NSW Books.

It does however have a Holden carb (Stromberg) BVXOU1

The engine number is under that mud stalagmite near cylinder 1

Yep, the only holden bit is the carb. The motor is series one land rover.

It look like it could be the next project! just got to sort out the details and then bring it home.
the drivers door has written on it "Co-Ordinating Board Barrier Fence Inspector''
