Dave, stick with the facts. By Royce Peterson - 01/12/2002 8:15:53 AM; IP 205.188.195.146 What we have now that the date codes are known is a block that could probably have started life as a 428 with exceptionally thick cylinder walls and an accidental bottom end core set from a 427. It certainly has nothing to do with any GTE Cougar. As I have said many times in the past, the GTE 427's were all cross bolted and used screw in core plugs. The earliest ones were cast in August 1967 and we have date codes found in un - molested original owner cars which go as late as January 1968. While my personal opinion can be changed if there are facts which prove me wrong, so far none have been presented other than rumor or hearsay. Maybe now that we have the date codes you could start saying that 1966 Fairlane 427's were actually 2 bolt hydraulic motors. (sarcasm intended) Royce Peterson No crow, just facts.

This thread, so far...
