As others have decoded, the key part is the "25 6k 1" part.
This means 2.5 litre, 6-cylinder, designed for Katalyser (meaning low-compression).
The number that follows that is the build number for that engine.

Late M20 loom should fit.
The 2.7 stamp appeared on the head casting, along with 2.5 after the introduction of the US Super eta E30.

Design the engine had a part loom on it but cut, the injectors ain't straight plus it was a wire loom that was on then unlike the later loom which has the caseing on it
