RE: C4AE-A 390 block
By BrentP - 10/14/2003 10:03:15 PM; IP 209.240.162.43
cool thanks for the info. Fords casting numbers can damn sure be confusing as they are not very consistent. The books I have list that block casting number as a 427 block. The C4AE-B crank shows to be a 427 crank but it lacks the grooves cut in the main journals. The rods are C3A3-C which also show as 427 rods casting number. Did ford just cast a ton of stuff then machine it down to fit whatever they were building that day? Odd but definatly nice as the block does have the webbing for a stronger bottom end. Always fun to hit salvage yards and find something interesting!
I am going to hit one tomorrow that says he has atleast a dozen 390's out of old '60 model cars but he dosent like fords so he has no idea what the engines really are. Maybe find something cool!
This thread, so far...
