john, i do understand what you are saying but i think your theory is a little misguided. the first problem is what you label limited production. this leads me to think that you did not realize that 428's were actually still in production in the early 70's. ford had contracts for industrial and marine engines as well as supplying replacement parts for production cars. the foundry and machine process' that ford uses are also probably a little different from what you might be familiar with. it would be far easier to make a run of larger bore blocks using 428 cores than it would be to over bore 390's. and since 428's were still in production they would designate a specific amount of time and run 428's and then 360/390 and then and then and then.... the 428 run would have 428 marked cores to identify them for the foundry workers and would also be marked for the machining line. everything is done in batches and it would not be an extra process. it would reduce costs for machining time and tooling as the more you cut the longer it takes and the more wear on the tools. trust me the bean counters would never have allowed it. it is possible that special blocks may be prepared like you suggest but it would be after the fact and after initial maching process were complete. unfortunately i think ford is too big to be flexible. hawkrod
