hey guys. first off the forum rocks. i have alot of questions but first off i bought a 1986 capri and was told it had a 94 cobra motor in it. well after tearing the motor out to rebuild it, it is not a cobra motor. my main question is on the block it has

27
e7te
ca

can you guys tell me what this means?

 

run of the mill 302 roller block, 1987

 

thats what i thought. man i hate getting screwed.

 

yup!! a cobra block would of had a casting of F1.......

 

thanks for the info. many more questions to come

 

91?

 

^^^^^^^^what I meant to say is in 91 the roller blocks changed casting numbers from E7 to F1......SO roller blocks after 91 have such a casting date..If you want I can take a pic of my 92 roller block and a spare 94 I recently purchased

 

i know what the casting numbers are i was just wondering where you were going with it

 

that was it...that's all I was getting at with the post...cobra blocks are no different than a regular roller block just heads, cam and intake differences from a regular 5.0
