Royce,
I don't know that I would say that it was impossible. When I was working my way through college in the late eighties I worked at a shop and junk yard my best friends dad owned. He had several of the old county police cars that he had bought for next to nothing at aution. Some of these had 428 PI engines and others had 427 engine. Some of these were '63, '64 cars and others were the boxy '65-'67 cars. At the time I didn't know anything about the engine codes so I can't say what the codes were.
Also, about six months ago I was in a junkyard in Sparta Georgia looking for a '70 model 429. The owner of the yard was with me and he inquired as to why I wanted an old 429. I told him that I was hot rodding one of my mustangs and I needed a strong engine. He laughed and asked why the hell i wanted a 429. He goes on this spill about when he was younger how they raced 390s, 427s and 428s. He ends by telling me that if I had been by a few months earlier I could've bought his last 427. He said it came out of one his patrol cars.
