OK, I'll bite
I thought the maximum bore tolerance (for the 12 different piston sizes the factory used in 64 and 65!!!) was 4.2364".
Crankshaft max tolerance was 3.788"
Sounds like 427 to me...
Same max tolerance allowances for 428s still had them under 428.2ci
Now that I own a 427FE, I can say 2 things...
1. I have become one of those nerds who talk about engine specs to 4 decimal places
2. I now know that they make decent power but WAY LESS low rpm torque than a similarly modified 385 series or Windsor engine
