Help with engine ID **UPDATED**

So I searched and searched but I'm just confused.
I have a 302 roller transplant in my 86. I pulled the starter and found the following numbers:
A big 24, under that E7TE, and under that a small CA.
I think its a 87 truck engine am I close?
Thanks!

The head casting numbers are E6SE. No idea if the pistons are flat, the heads are still on.

I just found the partial VIN, HX214448, so its a 87 out of the St Thomas plant, sequence number is between 100001 and 600000 which makes it a Crown Vic engine.
