427 S/O alum rods
By Nick - 06/01/2004 9:11:18 PM; IP 205.238.179.11
I work at a Ford performance shop in Texas. Recently one of our customers bought a 427 side oiler with tunnel port heads and 8V intake. He is building a Thunderbolt replica. The guy he bought the motor from said it was built by a Ford employee back in the sixties but was never run much more than a few times down the strip. Today we took off the oil pan to find aluminum rods with "Mickey" cast into them and "893407" stamped in black ink on the sides. The pistons are forged fomoco units, P/N C8AZ-6110A. Does anyone have any idea if the rods could be period correct and if there is any way to find out any information on them? Here are a few more numbers:
Block: C8AE-A
Heads: C7OE-6090K
Crank: C7AZ-6303C
