| 427 Block |
| By Walter - 03/28/2005 5:43:53 PM; IP 68.114.118.11 |
I acquired a 427 block back in the mid 80's and its been sitting up for all these years on a stand in my shed.
After reading the many posts on this Forum I decided to try and confirm what I have. Any assistance would be appreciated. The following is the info I have from the block:
1. Driver side;
3B22:3
DIFF
(I believe this is the date code 22 Feb 1963 but I don't know what the ":3 or DIF stands for)
2. Passanger side;
HP 31 (HP=High Perf but what is 31?)
55 (sideways over the #'sbelow)
C3AE (1963 Ford Engr)
6015AB (?? I thought blocks were 6010?)
3. In lifter Gallery;
HP 24 ("24" is sideways after HP with 1 dot behind "24")
4. Where trans mounts to block;
23
HP
5. Crank has the following #'s on it;
C4AE (one dot) B
9
6. Bore of cyl measures 4.28 (Is this punched too far for viable use? I believe the original bore was 4.23.)
7. Cyl wall thickness bet/ cyl is .3125
8. It appears to be a "Top Oiler" due to oil pressure relief valve just above cam bearing bore.
9. In addition I have a dual quad intake that reads;
C3AE-9425-K
3LC (Is this the date code?)
Thanks for the help. You guys a great source of info.
