It may not be worth the bother.

The C8AE-H heads pretty much spell out the notion that it is most likely NOT a 427 block. The 66-427 marking is quite common on ordinary 360 and 390 blocks - these blocks generally have no extraordinary reinforcements, such as extra thick cylinder walls or crossbolt bosses. You will often find generic reinforcements to the cranksaddle bulkheads and ribs are common in the early '70 blocks, but these are present in many FE blocks of the era.

You might check out this comical ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=598116762 . Thanks to Tom P. for bringing it to the attention of the fordfe.com forum, this is a carefully-worded swindle currently "in-process".

It'll be fun to watch, especially since I just notified all the current bidders about it and invited them to this thread. I wonder if anyone else will hop atop the heap? I guess we can just wait-and-see.

Newcomers to the FE forums may wish to check out both this forum's main page ( http://www.fomoco.com/ford-forum-FE ) and the fordFE.com main page ( http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/74182 ) to see what is going on around the FE world.

Digging my own grave, as usual,
Shoe.
