2 bolt 427 info
By Alan Casida - 11/08/2001 6:48:27 PM; IP 65.193.82.200
I bought this block several years ago from a well known Wichita Ks area 427 collector. He had two of them. He said they came off of irrigation pumps in western Kansas. As far as casting numbers go, I was unable to find any when I got it, but I don't have it here to recheck. It does have "427" cast in the lifter valley and 66-427 on the back of the block, which I know does not necessarily make it 427, as I have a 428 block that also has that on the back of the block. The outside of the cylinders were squared off though, like Ford started doing in 66 and it was standard bore 427 when I got it. It also weghs about 20lbs. more than my 428 block. The sonic test did not show any core shift although one cylinder is a little thin.
George said it would be ok, but if it had any casting porosity I might get a pinhole leak at some time, so I am considering having that hole sleeved.I was going to have the crossbolt caps installed, but that is proving cost prohibitive.
This thread, so far...
