Utter baloney

Search the forum for high nickel. Dave Shoe has found many of the original blueprints for the 427 blocks and other high performance ford applications. It just didn't happen outside of a couple failed experiments. Higher nickel just causes higher rejection rate of blocks and rapid failure of tooling.

Ford did use higher chromium in 427 blocks at some point in production and also increased phosphorous levels after 1971 but the practice didn't make a whole lot of difference worthy of any search for one of those blocks over another.
