How do I ID a 427 block?
By John M. Sutton - 11/08/2001 10:08:01 AM; IP 198.26.132.102
You all may remember me recently, when I was trying to find a replacement motor for my truck's 390 (it lunched its camshaft somehow.) I found a junkyard engine with 360 marked valve covers on it from a '73 F350. The block had ribbing casts in the side, and this forum helped me identify it as a 427 block, most likely a Freddie Jones rebuild, because it has Ford .10 rod bearing inserts.
So, how do I identify the engine? It could have a 352 or 390 crank in it, or it may be a full 427.
Any help out there?
This thread, so far...
