| First it has to have .010 UNDER bearings, as the crank is ground under. No crossbolts? A lot of 360's had the ribs and rear casting that says "427", no biggie there. Now I suggest you pull a sparkplug and take a good look inside. You are going to see a piston top that is flat with 4 reliefs, or a small dish. ALL 427's had forged pistons, with either a flat top (63 4-V only) flat with two tits and a trough for a valve relief, (63 8-V up to early 65 4-V or 8-V, a 1/4" dome-65-67 Medium Riser, not too likely, or a flat top with trough and no tits, 68 (Cougar) and TRW replacement # L2205, or a marine version that has a "D" shaped dish. I'm not going into the Hi-Risers or the racing ones that you cant possibly have. How about the core plugs on the side of the block, after 65 they were a big pipe plug that screwed in. Now as far as the stroke goes, I think you will find the # on the crank to be absolutely the sure fire way to tell. And one more thing, if you pulled a rod cap, you would have to use a 19/32nd's socket to do it. but I would bet the farm that you used a 3/8th's to do it, didn't you. I have only seen two non cross bolt 427's in my life, and they are my life. No junkyard sheenie is going to sell you a 427 for that kind of money unless he is blind, deaf and really dumb. I imagine the dumbass that bought that block on e-bay will never admit that he ran out of K-Y jelly about now. I dont mean to be so harsh, but there is so much misinformation out there that most people really dont know what to believe sometimes. It could be a 410 or 428 if the stroke checks out. 428 Cobra jets used the bigger rod bolt that takes the bigger nut/socket by the way before someone jumps me for that little oversite, sorry. Whatever you have though, I hope you enjoy FE's as they are the most versatile of all of Detroit's offerings ever. IMO |
