RE: 2 Bolt 427 |

Several years ago Ford sold a bunch of 427 engines as 'Industrial engines'. I have looked at several and they may or may not have crossbolts. All of them were side oiler blocks that were not finished. The identifying factor is the boss cast into the lower left side of the block down where the clutch pivot bracket bolts on. I have successfully bored 2 of these 050 and made stroker motors with 428 cranks. One is currently in my 66 F-100 and really makes an interesting ride. These engines used to be found in the Texas panhandle up through Kansas as water pump motors. I have not seen any for sale for a long time though occasionally a 428 will be found. These are 428 cj blocks. Ford quit selling these in the early 80s when they went to 460 industrials. These are interesting also, but that is another story. |
