| RE: 427 vs 428 |

| Some not all will have the thicker walls. I think the late 62 blocks were the ones but not positive. It seems there was no pattern to it and beleive a 406 service block was just an underbored 427 from what I've read about them. Mine is a C3-D 406 and most of these have the std 406/428 wall casting from what I've seen. Mine is just a freak with the one side at 427 thickness. I'm sure the thick walled 406's could core shift permitting but at 4.13 std the block would last just about forever with 427 walls. There were a couple of nice 427 c/o block on ebay a few months back. Guy is a forum member on the network54 site. They sold for $2000 and $2200 and both were std bore. One needed .010 and the other a hone to stay std. Not a bad deal! The two 406 blocks I've seen see recently were both under $1000. One was std and good the other .020 and needed .030 and these were ebay prices. I bought my entire 406 original and complete with the tripower as well for $1500 two years ago. Also ran across a guy that had a 63 427 for $3k minus intake and dizzy recently. So some deals are still out there. G. |
