Drivers side dipstick...
Short waterpump pulleys?,
Staggered bolt starter
Looks like a Vette oil pan,

So engine guess: 1976 Vette 350

Early AA aluminum bellhousing-chevy to Toy 4-spd


Later t-case nose cone.
75&newer driveshaft u-joints.
Pre 79 tranny tunnel
No PTO tranny cover
Discs???

So, 1977 FJ40 cruiser

Just a guess...
