4,000 bucks is cheap......

and bears looking into quite seriously. Unless it is a piece of junk, (I doubt it) you would be wise to buy it. It is a much better block to begin with on all aspects over a 428 except one. That one, is the distance between cylinders. While it is only .100 difference in bore size, you must double that figure for the final distance. This can lead to an easier time blowing head gaskets. That is why Ford increased the deck casting thickness on 427's, (one reason anyway). Cross bolts, bigger oil passages, a separate relief spring, and the bigger bores all add up to a better buy. A spare intake, and the cast headers sweeten it up even more. The C3AE-H heads will outflow the C-J ones from the factory. If you dont want it, I do. Hows that sound? Considering the price of a new block, its quite a deal. You can easily spend 10k to equal it.
This thread, so far...
