RE: misinformation about these engines
By David Thayer - 01/17/2002 9:05:31 AM; IP 158.52.254.238
First, CC never Spec'd anything, this program was initiated by Ford as a way to sell enough Side Oiler blocks to help pay for the re-tool to side oiler. Ford did not want to sell more in cars due to warranty issues, and they did not want to sell a severly de-tuned 427 in cars as these motors did not put out anymore HP than a good 4 bbl 390. The CC program was perfect as they not only sold more SO blocks but also saved $ by not machining them as SO's.
As far as RPM, the entire SO program had nothing to do with high RPM, it had to do with oil supply to mains on the high bank tracks and at LeMans. Any center oiler 427 can run rpms with the SO. If anything, the true side oilers with the LeMans rods were a LOWER rpm motor due to the beefier LeMans and NASCAR rods.
Once again, these motors had 390 cranks, 390 low performance cylinder heads and cast 390 type 4 bbl intakes. Though they displaced 425 CI, they were virtually 390's with a 427 crossbolted block. With thtat said, if the block is in good condition, it is well worth 1K. Why with only 400 hours did it get replaced? I would ask that question. The CC boats are replacing these as parts and tuning (on the solid lifter versions) takes more effort than more modern marine engines.
