The CDW27 was already being produced or the platform had already been finalized. Then when Porsche finished the engine, it wouldn't fit into the engine bay.
From there, Ford(in it's infinite wisdom) decided to shrink the block instead of widening the engine bay.
I remember more, but not right now.

Then, in that case, it's Porsche's fault for designing the engine too big, unless Ford didn't give them the exterior dimensions.
Interesting....
