Positive ID By John Zeigler - 11/01/2002 3:12:24 AM; IP 66.171.3.6 Thanks folks for the help. In Reids Book on Ford parts interchange, he mentions that inside the center freeze plug there should be, in a true 428, the casting "428". The block I purchased does indeed have a 428 inside that freeze plug. It is a bare block and the crank is out. It too is the 1U designator. There are no visible cracks or chips, dents, scoring marks in or about the important surfaces. The bore measured 4.13 which is correct. I dont' know how to measure stroke with nothing in the cylinders though. Now all I have to do is find all the rest of the needed parts....feel free to throw some sources out at me. thanks.

This thread, so far...
