Default Do I need a 427 side oiler

The chart left off 428 FE bore 4.13 stroke 3.98
406 FE bore 4.13 stroke 3.78
410 FE bore 4.05 stroke 3.98
390 FE bore 4.05 stroke 3.78

The small block 427 is 4.125 bore and 4.00 stroke. That is pretty close to a 428.
I suppose you could use an old 289 cam and get the old firing order.


Years ago, I saw a 1966 aluminum FE with a steel 360 truck crankshaft. It belonged to Paul Addams and he gave me a tee shirt. Either Keith Kraft or Kuntz was there, too.
I think his RPM was in stratosphere.

The BB Chevy guys do something with a 4 7 swap on camshafts, I think.
