No passenger car came with one. Numbers Please!

By Royce Peterson - 01/08/2002 4:23:43 PM; IP 216.196.174.91

Dave,
Nice pictures. This one certainly has the inner webs of a 427 but externally is made to look like any other FE. What's the date code and is there a casting #? Looks like a great cheater motor for late 1960's match racing. Was it in a pump motor or oil field generating unit or what?

My engine builder showed me a "two bolt" 427 engine at his shop. It started life as a 406 but the cylinder walls were plenty thick enough to bore it to 4.231" and using a 428 crank it now is 448 CI. Casting was C3AE. No provisions for cross bolts but oddly enough it was drilled for hydraulic lifters! Once again, mistakes like these prove only that Ford made use of everything. Crow? Don't think so.
