Can someone who knows their way around Ford Engines help me out please?

I’ve got an MGB Roadster with a Ford 2 litre Twin Cam engine in it, which is an excellent & straightforward conversion. It’s the 8 valve engine with a twin choke weber, dual mass flywheel, and 5 speed manual box. I’m after another one to put in a BGT.

The guy who did the conversion tells me that this set up came from a late Sierra, but every 2 litre Sierra I’ve looked at has the Injected engine. Was he mistaken? Is this a version of the 'Pinto' engine, or something else?

Which Fords had the 8 valve carburated engine?

Many thanks
