RE: Weird motors in Farm Implements
By Davy gurley - 11/15/2001 10:32:03 PM; IP 209.40.144.3
My theory is that Ford had a warehouse full of 427 castings when they decided to go with the 385 series(429) engine so they made industrial engines out of them. As soon as they ran out of 427s, they sold the 428s the same way. These engines were set up with 361-391 heads and 2-v intakes, 13 inch clutch flywheels and flywheel housings and 8 qt. oil pans. I ran a bunch of these 428s as water pump motors. All of the 428s had CJ pistons in them so I assume them to be CJ block assemblies. We even tied two 428s together nose to tail when one wouldn't do the job. This resulted in a broken crank on the back engine, so we used a 391 truck crank on the back engine and never had any more problems. When tuned properly they sure sounded good. (819 cu in V-16) We quit pumping water many years ago but I still have a bunch of 428s and a couple 427s. No, they are not for sale
