What's all this talk about a 2-bolt 427 ?
Could it be that some of what we were arguing about a while back might need a bit of adjustment? Eating crow is a bit greasy, but I like mine with a red wine!
I'm not going to claim the 2-bolt was installed in the last edition of the 427 Cougar, as published in Autoweek, etc., because you've convinced me accordingly, but I do believe there is a good chance that the industrial machine line took liberties with what they produced for the irrigation fields, and other industrial applications.
The marine 427 is a perfect example. Many are cast as sideoilers, but not milled as such, due to a sideoiler "being a waste of good machinery in anything other than a full race endurance machine". If this variation existed, I can certainly see a two-bolt 427 also being produced for other specialty (lower cost, lower performance) applications.
Ahh well, lemme know if you hear any more about this, I'm interested only in the history of this particular oddity.
