Please take a photo of the pad with a ruler underneath the pad itself if anyone is going to the museum in the near future.

Somewhere, in the judging standards perhaps, they discuss the "type study" of engine number pads. IIRC, the earliest pads were larger, "shield shaped," almost incorporating the water inlet flange, and were set aside early due to changes in the production methods of the engine block?
This apparently all part of the controversy of this supposed "engine No. 1."
I have a replacement engine that came with my truck. It has a "blank" unmolested number pad, very obviously as it left Ford. Maybe I'll stamp it "No. 1?"
Well, there is no law against adding to the confusion?
Kidding, of course.
