427 2-bolt mains By Travis Miller - 01/08/2002 11:31:15 AM; IP 205.188.199.56 While the block Shoe has pictured proves to us that they do exist, at local dragstrips, round tracks, and truck pulls around the country enterprizing racers who used to claim 360, 390, or something else would delete the crossbolts and putty up the sides of the block where the holes were. This was a trick that many cheaters got away with for years. A 427 will run fine without the crossbolts. I am sure that the ones who did get caught never admitted to deleting the crossbolts. They probably just said they bored the 390 out to 427, so no one would put a magnet down on the side of the block and catch their trick.

This thread, so far...
