Greg--I don't have a clue what the 'E' suffix designates, but I do know that
the most reliable method to estimate your CR without pulling the head is to
measure its thickness between the top and bottom flanges.  If it's close to
3.550 inches, you've got a 7.75:1 CR engine.  If you measure around 3.480
inches, you're up to 8.5:1 CR.  This assumes standard piston bores.
