No 428 truck motor, no, however

It seems that alot of the truck blocks ended up being blocks that had been used as service blocks at the time. JMO, but I've heard the same from other people.

I've also heard that the blocks were cast as 428's with thick walls, but the program of putting FE's in cars came to a screeching halt, so they just used them in trucks.

The d2# does point to a truck block, but they could have been swapped in.

You can read this for some info to help you decide if it's even a candidate for sonic mapping: http://fomoco.com/ford-forum-fe/reply.asp?ID=10565&Reply=10489

I say check it out. There seems to be a good # of these blocks like that, that are capable of going to 4.13 bore (428). Remember that the next time you seem some "ultra-rare, gold-plated, unobtainium-cast" `72-dated CJ engine block on Ebay!
