You need to check this out carefully. From what I understand there were some 2 bolt main 427's used for industrial applications. But I think it should have the bosses for the crossbolts and std 2 bolt maincaps. I'm not 100 percent sure on the bosses though but I can find out. I've never seen one and have only heard of 2 being found but picture proof was never seen. It could be a C7JE-E which is a 68 427 irrigation block. This would but it close to the 69 date tag. The internals are just basic with nothing extra HD as they were deemed for low rpm use only. Let me know what the casting numbers are from the block heads etc.... as they made a 428 industrial engine also. But it sounds like a great find be it either. Keep us posted...please! G.
