I only asked about 427's specifically. He said that for the most part the 427's used the same batch of iron as anything else up until 1971. In his words "An extra box" of chromium was used in them after that along with a quantity of phosphorous. They were mixing tremendous amounts of iron every day and it was only possible to make 427 blocks one day every few months because it would shut the line down for a full day before and after to set up and then tear down the mold line. To think that some 390 blocks were made better than others is in fact ludicrous. Ford's block iron was a very successful mixture and there was no reason to alter it.
