If it is what it is stamped, it is a #4 Meyer Drake 270 Offy grind for short tracks.
The "180" could be it was for an engine with a single plane crank.
It was originally designed by Ed Winfield in the 30's.
It is similar to an Isky 404A and requires radius lifters.
It is one of the best all around grinds that was ever put in a flathead Ford V8.
I have quite a few out there running in winning cars but you probably won't get the owners to admit it. (none with single plane cranks)
