Need help getting info on this block

I have an engine that I just ripped out of my old truck. Was thinking about rebuilding it but need to know what it is first. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

It's an '87 casting but without more pics of the actual motor I can't tell you if it's one of the windsors, an I6, or a big block.

That is a 5.0L from a Mustang or T-bird most likely.

Awesome, thanks! Would this be a 1987 302?

Yes.. well actually it could be a 302 from any year 1987 and on, but most likely to have been built in '87 or 88. And if it is from one of the cars I mentioned it would have a decent roller cam in it, you will need to measure cam lobe lift to know for sure but you don't need to totally dismantle it to do that. The motor looks pretty clean in those pics, was it burning oil or down on compression?

I'm not sure about the compression, and I am fairly certain it was not burning oil. It was installed in my 1953 F100, but I took it out since im rebuilding the entire truck. I am selling it on FB for $500, if I don't sell it I will break it down and have a machine shop clean everything up.

I drove it a few times, felt good. I just need to clean it up if I don't sell it since I'm rebuilding the entire truck.

That's an 87 motor. The "7D11" is the date code. "7" is 1987, "C" is March, "11" is the date of the month. Got to be a Stang 5.0 HO most likely. Has E7TE heads on it, the "T" cast in that corner next to the valve cover denotes an E7TE head casting. Could also have come out of a Lincoln Mark VII too. The cam will tell you which application it is. Not sure which heads the T-Bird came with that year. Coulda been either E7's or E6's. They for certain came with the base roller that year, same as the Vic's got.
