RE: Sure - early 427CID blocks were 'center-oilers'. See related...

By Rich - 01/27/2006 8:48:23 PM; IP 4.227.57.165

I am trying to get some info on 427 motors. My father had a Galaxy 500 XL that has what he thought was a 427 Hi performance engine in it. The VIN number show the car originally had a 352 from the factory. I have heard both sides of the story of it being a 352, a 390, and a 427. Is there an easy way to tell what the motor is?

Thanks,
Rich
