First the 427 has a 4.23 bore with a 3.78 stroke while the 428 has a 4.23 bore and a 3.98 stroke. (The 390 and 406 has the same stroke, 3.78 as the 427 and the 428 has the same bore as the 406.)
The side oiler part identifies a block that has an added oil gallery on the driver's side of the engine. This gallery can is easily confirmed by the outside plugs where the engine was drilled to connect this gallery to each main bearing.
Also all 427 side oilers have cross bolted main caps. These caps have bolts from outside the skirt of the crank case into the main caps. You really need a picture to understand this feature. |
