RE:Steve Christ's book..

is a great book! I can remember how thrilled I was to get it back in the mid '80s. It was my FE bible! And I still refer to it quite often. But there are a few minor errors and I think this may be one Geoff.

I can affirm exactly what Royce has stated by this:

I tore down two FE's within a month. One was a '64 standard -Z- code 300 horse 390-4V. It had a C4AE crank. The other FE was a stock/standard, virgin '64 427 - 425 horse dual quad. It too had a C4AE cast crank like the 390. The only difference was that it had fully grooved main bearing journals.

Again there were no '64/earlier forged steel 427 crankshafts. The first were mid year '65 carrying a C5AE # along with a $ sign. Sideoiler cranks that are beautiful chunks of steel.
This thread, so far...
