Block question
My block has the casting code: E7TE (which means: E = 1980s/ 7 = 1987/ T = Truck/ E = ?)
I was wondering if this is a 302 or a 289 and if the T means that it came out of an Explorer in 87 or an F-150 or what? Any ideas? My intake manifold reads "Edelbrock 289 Performer" but I know that does not automatically make it a 289.

Probably a 5.0 (302) or possibly a 351... I don't know the codes so that is about it for me on this subject....

RE: Block question
cant always trust the TE after the E7 because ford used that EXACT same block in everything from a crown vic to a mustang to a truck to a van. but yeah being an E7 its a roller and is anywhere from 87-up. there were a few years that had forged pistons from the factory, you may have a nice short block on your hands. the intake says 289 cause when edelbrock made those ford was still making 289's instead of 302's.
oh and jmd, my 289 is using a E7TE 302 block, roller cam ready for future plans FTW
