Need help identifying engine block and heads

[Trebor]

Can anybody provide me any information about this block and heads?

This engine was making really low compression numbers, I had another built to replace it. I would like to sell the old one, but I dont know anything about it.

Any help would be appreciated, I can get more pics after the weekend if that is helpful.

Thank you

I think the date code is on the block where the starter would be located, if you can look inside the spark plug hole and see the top of a piston that would tell if it was a low compression engine like from a truck or crown vic/grande marquee, there may be a engineering or part number someplace.
Best I could do.

The spider, dog bones and roller lifters look factory. The roller tip stamped rockers and plug angles look like the heads should have three bars on the ends. I do not see the bars on the ends of the heads.
Here is what will be helpful when you look for the numbers.

The 8K27 in the head should have a letter before it go be a Ford part number. And many from the era of what the block looks like have a thermactor port (or plug) in the ends of the heads. Are the heads iron?
Do I you have any more history on this long block?

8K27 is a casting date code.

October 27th, 1988


Those heads look like standard E7s given the “CP” foundry mark (and Ford emblem) The block has its casting numbers near the starter. I bet it’s an E7TE block with a 1988 casting date code.


If you clean up this spot, there might be a partial vin here

+1 to 5L5.

Here are some E7 heads. I see the thermactor plug in another picture. I should not have made it difficult.

How bad was the compression? Someone dumped money into that at some point, Its a late model block and E7 heads, prob .030 if the spent money on glyptal paint and a stud conversion. Bet it has a cam in it to lol.

The glyptal paint stood out to me...... Someone might have spent some time on this long block... I would check it over.... It might end up with a rebuild on an engine stand.... NOthing cooler than a few engines " rolling" around......
