The horsepower tax was introduced to protect English manufactures against cheap high quality USA imports , Essex,Irskin etc etc . Anything over 15 HP attracted punitive "road tax " Ford countered this by bringing out the AF 14.9 HP engine . The 3" bore block was cast in Fords tractor plant in Cork Ireland . The picture is most likely an AF block you can see the gaps between the bores in the casting . It is not a small 8 HP or 10 HP English engine .
