Default It's possible

Huskersnake Is there any more stamping on the block? If you unscrew the plugs to the wateer jackets there should be a number on a cylinder wall saying 427, 390, 428. There should be some more numbers on the block. What or the numbers on the crankshaft and rods?
There was a hydro 427 so motor built. It is also possible it's a service block or out of a boat. Some guys got screw over by buying 427 boat motors. Some had reverse rotation.
MOre pictures of the block, heads , crankshaft and rods would help solve this problem. If it's a boat motor, the the cylinder walls sonic checked. They rotted out over time at the bottom of the block. Make sure the cylinders are not to thin either. You can have sleeves installed in the block if needed. Rick L.
