RE: 427 Marine engines (Royce)
By Royce Peterson - 02/05/2002 3:40:49 PM; IP 66.161.184.52
Marine engines are not listed in the parts catalog or in the shop manual. Ford could not send engines out in vehicles without adequate information for them to be serviced by the dealer. In the case of the 428CJ for example Ford sent out several service bulletin articles to cover each and every odd fact about those engines. The 68 427 engines are quite thoroughly documented in the shop manual showing instructions regarding the side oiler hydraulic block and cross bolt torque procedures just to name a few of the many such references in the shop manual. There are also several service bulletins covering many other details omitted in the shop manual.

Marine and industrial / farm engines were built to spec for a customer. I am sure they had to meet engineering standards as well and were manufactured with equal quality and attention to detail. The details are certainly covered somewhere in a Ford document, just not in the ones associated with passenger vehicles which are the only ones I collect.

By the way, I have come across a 406 service replacement block that is cast just like a 427 center oiler. My engine builder has bored it to 4.23 and it would easily go 4.26 or maybe 4.27. It has cross bolt bosses that are undrilled and hydraulic lifter passages that are drilled but plugged. There are no dide oiler provisions on it and the date code is early 1964. Casting was C4AE-A. I would have installed cross bolted caps were it mine.
