| Heres one for the numbers buffs! |

| I have in my pile of cores,a 428 motor. I tore it down and ID'd all the parts. The block,however,does not have the usual numbers behind the starter. It had "66-427" cast into the rear,a big "C" on the rear as well. Its got the boss for the pressure relief cast into the rear,but its unmachined. The casting date is Jan.12,1971. It does not have the ribs on the outside of the block. Bore size is standard 4.130,and the pistons were TRW forged units. The heads were standard non-CJ type,and it had a cast iron 2BBL intake manifold on it. When I pulled it apart,it had stock type fomoco gaskets on it (the imprint is still visible on the block deck and head surface),leading me to beleive that it was assembled this way from Ford,or it was some kind of top end swap at a Ford dealership (?) The motor is all standard,but who knows what it came out of. |
