427 or Not?
By "Alvin Jay" Halloway - 08/12/2000 7:09:31 PM; IP 152.163.201.46
A guy here is selling a '65 Galaxie with what he says is a 427 in it. Heads are C4AE and intake is low-rise C5AE. Can't seem to find the block casting number. I know 427's have cross-bolt mains, but (here comes the ignorance) do the extra main cap bolts go in from the side of the block? Is there any other sure-fire way to identify the engine as being a 427? The only other way I've heard of is by determining the stroke length.
This thread, so far...
