Default How to identify a ROUSH Engine?
I just purchased a car that was built about 8 years ago and supposedly has a ROUSH engine, or so the widow of the builder thinks. The intake is an edelbrock single plane, the heads are Edelbrock Jr, and the block is a World Products Man O War 351W/427 stroker. The only identifying mark i can find on the block is 427 followed by a series of 4 other numbers stamped into the front passenger side.
Roush doesn't list very much info about the blocks they use other than some are "seasoned", some are iron, and some are aluminum. I'm not sure if Roush always engraved their cylinder heads with the Roush name or not, but this one does not have the name on the heads.

Any thoughts?
