Sorry guys but the P6 engine fitted to the E27N used all Perkins designed and cast parts including the sump. It was only the F3.144/152 engines fitted to the Dexta that used Ford castings. The P6 was offered as a factory fitted option or as a conversion which Perkins supplied.....later Perkins offered the L4TA and 4.270D TA conversions for the E27N.
The P6TA "thats Tractor agriculture" was fitted to the E27N as original equipment if the buyer wanted a Diesel ,But if the farmer wanted to convert from Petrol/T.V.O. "parafin" .then Perkins suplied the L4TA engine as an aftermarket unit, Jim.
Not quiet right fella, the P6 in the E27N used a sump cast by ford. This was because the sump was used to carry the front axle and Perkins didnt make one. The rest of the engine is pure Perkins.Jim

Perkins built the engines, but with Ford blocks (Ford claimed that Perkins blocks weren't strong enough!)
