| RE: 427 's |

| First you have to look at the area just above the oil pan rails to see if there are 3 equally spaced "castle" type bolts with solid washers about 3/16" thick. If you have these bolts you may have a 427, there were 4 bolt main 406s as well as 2 bolt main 427s. While you're under the car you should also look at the core/freeze plugs to see if they are the normal, drive in type or if they look like a very large allen head set screw, the latter were, for the most part, installed in the later blocks. Then you should look for a narrow bulge that runs the length of the block, just above the cross bolts, which will also have what looks like set screws, which would indicate that the engine is a side oiler. I hope this helps. |
