OK Dave I am hungry! Now in my post I forgot to mention Irrigation, Industrial types and stated the remark about the screw in core plugs. Now I had a brass screw in true S.O. block that I junked, took out the plugs, natch but never saw what it came out of. I am quite sure that there were application's other than CARS that had the press ins. I see that you have a 4 bolt mount there and wonder why you did not post the date as you are usually thorough about this. The one two bolt mount, two bolt main I saw was taken out of a wrecked Canadian car in 1970 and it was a 63 4-V engine. The block is in a Colorado junkyard (maybe still) after the owner I built it for (447) drove off the side of a mountain in his 57 Ranchero (black) for those of you who want to keep your eyes open, if its not crushed after 30 years, LOL. The second was a 68 side oiler "W" code Cyclone and it had 14 bolt heads and smog pump and "GT" style exhaust manifolds with a P.I. intake. It had chrome "Powered By Ford" valve covers, chrome open element filter, automatic and was orange with the white stripe and the 427 "lenghtwise" emblems on it. I, at the time did not buy it cause I was wanting a crossbolt car if I was going to shell out the big bucks for it. This car was a new car that the local Lincoln Mercury dealer had got for his wife. I did get her 67 "K" code GTA that had all the options, but that is irrelavent. I never mentioned this before as I saw the dogfight about all the non crossbolt blocks and that no 427's were ever put in anything but a Cougar. I had a very knowledgable friend tell me his brother had bought a new 68 Mustang with one in it but I never saw it so I cant say much about it, other than he described it perfectly. I have no idea what kind of pull at the factory it took to get what you wanted if you were a bigwig but I'm sure there were those with that kind of influence. I would like some more information if you have it on the use of 427's in PT boats in the 60's. I know that the Chevy's took over but have limited info about the Ford's.
This thread, so far...
