RE: funny blocks and other odds and ends.
By Davy Gurley - 01/13/2002 1:21:40 PM; IP 209.40.144.134
Well I just spent some time going ove these 427 industrial blocks. They are not crossbolted , see pictures in earlier thread, or drilled for sideoiling. They were delivered with hydralic lifters and double bump pistons. Now bear with me while I give you some details. Block #1 (pictured above)- Casting no. C7AF-A, Date cast- 7C3, Stamped in boss below #5 cyl.-7D12, "HP" stamped into front of block just to the right of lower left front cover bolt, 12 DIF cast into left side along with 'E' and clock @ 10, 32 over 325 in front of block, 352 over 38 cast into block in lifter galley, 66-427 cast in back of block with big 'V' scratched in casting. Block #2 (engine assembled) Casting no. C5AE-H, Date cast- 6B11, Stamped into boss under #5-6L20 7, "P" stamped into block just to the right of lower front cover bolt, 12 DIF and W with clock pointing at 9:30 on left bank, 25 over 352 cast in front, 66-427 with large H scratched into back of block. Block #3- C5AE-H casting no., date cast-6C11, Stamped into boss under #5- 7D3 -8, 'W' and clock casting pointing at 8 on left bank, 66-427 with 'H-1' scratched into back of block, C2AE main caps. Block 4(engine assembled and installed in 66 F-100)- Casting no. C7AE-A,, date casting unreadable, Stamping on boss under #5 - 7D4 V. I don't make any claims as to knowing what this all means but I do know that what I have reported is correct. I reported the other day that blocks 1 and 2 had 6C11 date casting, but after getting some good light and a cleaning rag we found out different. We initially had 6 of these, one went to happy hunting grounds and the other was sold and installed in a pickup. It still had the DATA plate on it. I will get the information as I can.
This thread, so far...
